Art
“I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way - things I had no words for.” — Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), Artist
My name is Mrs Cummings and I'm the Art subject lead at Waberthwaite C of E School.
I was very lucky to grow up surrounded by a family of artists and their passion for everything creative resonates with me through life to this day.
Art is a subject I love to teach and I particularly enjoy seeing the moment that every child realises that they too are an artist!

We adapt the units to suit our children and ensure that there is a full, progressive coverage of the National Curriculum to allow our pupils to flourish in creativity.
