Art & Design

Hi everyone! I am Miss Burgoyne and I lead art at Rose Hill Primary School.

I feel so privileged to lead such an important subject. Art has always been such a huge part of my life. My love for art started early in my childhood, whilst being inspired by my Dad, who is an artist in Bristol. I used to watch him create his amazing paintings in the study and felt inspired to create my own artwork. I loved how I could express my ideas, thoughts, and feelings through art.

At Rose Hill we believe EVERY child is an artist. We provide an exciting and enriching art curriculum, which aims to engage, inspire, and challenge our pupils. Art is taught through three exciting art units, that are covered every year. The units are: Drawing and Sketchbooks, Surface and Colour, and Working in 3D. During these units, children have opportunities to develop skills in drawing, painting, collage, printing, and sculpture. These carefully planned units equip our children with the knowledge and skills to experiment and create their own works of art.

At Rose Hill we believe there is no ‘wrong’ in art as art is an individual, personal journey for all of us. We strive to ensure all our children are given the opportunities to develop confidence and value their efforts so they can appreciate the artist within them. I can’t wait to continue to see the journey that the children go on, as artists, at Rose Hill.

‘Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible.’
