Crawford puts the ‘art’ back into heart
Crawford Preparatory Sandton embraces the creative arts, using it as a tool for learning and integrating other subjects. The school holds an annual art exhibition off campus to give their pupils the thrill of seeing their art in a public space. This year the exhibition was held at the Morningside Shopping Centre.

Every pupil, from grade one to grade five, had an artwork on display and selected pieces from grades six and seven. The grade seven pupils visited the exhibition as a group, and took part in an interactive activity that referenced the art on display – a core skills learning experience.
The Crawford art teachers, Nina Bloom, Elona Shaff and Pam Kaplan, believe that visual art gives pupils an insight into the world around us – beyond the confines of the classroom.
