Unlocking creative potential

Art and design gives pupils hands-on experience of the creative and cultural industries, challenging them to unearth and express ideas. As pupils discover their creative potential, they begin to create opportunities for themselves - in their present and future lives. This part of the QCA website has general information on art and design, as well as resources and support for teachers.
