Art and Design

Art and Design

All children are encouraged to develop their artistic creativity while learning new skills, often within the context of their topic work. Throughout the school, an awareness of colour, shape, texture, line and shade is developed alongside the broad themes of drawing, painting, collage, printing, 3D work and textiles which create lots of opportunities for our children to express their ideas visually. All children will be given the opportunity, at their own level, to evaluate their own work and see their art work on display in their classroom. The study of a wide range of artists, craftspeople and designers complements their work to encourage an understanding of artists found in the local and wider community.
