ART

Art has a very important place in our curriculum. We see art as a vehicle for creativity and individual expression and it provides opportunities for collaborative work. It is an important form of cultural expression and, therefore, has significance and meaning for all our children. Links are especially relevant for our children due to the National Centre for Art and Design being located nearby and undertakes a lot of community focuses workshops and theme days.

Our art teaching provides an understanding of all the diverse art forms so that the children experience drawing, painting, collage, textiles, 3D designs, printmaking and digital media. We have Art Days with a whole school focus on one artist or painting and we include art in our themed weeks.
