Art and Design
Our aims...
Our Art and Design curriculum helps children develop their creativity, confidence and imagination. Children have opportunities to explore a range of materials, techniques and artistic styles as they develop their own ideas.
Children learn about a wide range of artists and use their work as inspiration, while being encouraged to experiment and make their own creative choices.
We want children to enjoy Art, feel proud of what they create and understand that experimenting, making changes and trying again are all part of being an artist.
