Art

"Art develops creative intelligence" - Carlo Thertus, artist

Creativity can be expressed in many ways: through music, dance, writing, and many forms of art. Different emotions help us to be creative, and expressing them through art is a way of sharing ourselves with others.
We are all born creative. By assisting and encouraging a child's creativity, we set the stage for endless opportunities for that child's imagination. A healthy imagination not only creates a resourceful and productive individual, but it also builds self-esteem. When a child creates a work of art, they are not just drawing a picture, they are also creating aspects of self-importance, individuality and engaging in self-expression.

Art stimulates creativity and imagination. It is an activity that the students can practice with their hands, their eyes and their whole personality. It provides a wealth of experiences for the students and gives them unique ways of understanding and responding to the world. The children at Birralee will be encouraged to become active and creative in expressing thoughts, feelings and ideas through a variety of artistic media. They will be encouraged to appreciate the art of others including the great masters.

Birralee International School Trondheim will provide a stimulating environment in which children will be motivated to think about their experiences and the world about them and to experiment with and enjoy working with a variety of materials to create art in many forms.
