Art and Design
Art and Design Intent
Our art and design curriculum has been designed to ensure that every child ‘can do art’ and has the opportunities to be artistic in their own way. In school, we promote the development of artistic skills, focusing not only on high quality art and design but also the ways that children can be challenged by art and design in the world around them. . Children will develop their interest and curiosity about art and design through a series of lessons that are skill and knowledge based. Art skills are revisited and built upon throughout school in order to allow pupils to become confident and proficient in a variety of techniques including drawing, painting, sculpting, collage and printing We use a wide range of artists, designers and architects to develop our pupils’ understanding and the impact this can have on the artist and the observer. Children will experience a visit to an art gallery and to work with local artists during their time in school.
