Creativity in thinking, learning and making nourishes the human spirit, builds a sense of personhood,  develops transferable skills, and enables confidence in personal expression.

Background

Creanda was started by a teacher/art historian/artist with significant experience of primary education and family learning. Creanda's initial goal was to enhance the  quality of art teaching and learning and visual literacy in the classroom, whilst encouraging creative thinking, learning and making throughout the curriculum, and in wider family learning.  This has broadened to  include fresh ways of teaching RE, Spirituality and Values Education through the Arts in schools, children's centres and charities. 

Creanda's wider vision includes empowering and releasing artists,  teachers, parents and other educators to support Art and visual Literacy education and spiritual development in their local school communities. This vision is being realised  through providing Christian artist educators, parents with training and support in delivering their own creative learning opportunities in primary schools, homeschool, children's centres, churches and other educational settings.  Creanda also has expertise in curriculum development overseas and hopes that the projects and resources can be used to support education provision widely.
