We are incredibly proud of our carefully planned and progressive Art curriculum that offers the children opportunities to become skilled in drawing, painting, collage and sculpture throughout their time with us. We continually refine our curriculum to ensure the best possible experiences are provided for our children. It is paramount that all the children’s artwork is purposeful: be this as a means of expression; to explore the styles of other artists that inspire their own work; or to aim to have their artwork displayed in an art gallery.
Our pupils are clear what the intended outcomes are and have a means to measure their own work against this. In Art, children are expected to be reflective and evaluate their work, thinking about how they can make changes and develop their mastery of Art techniques. We proudly display the children’s work in our ‘Amazing Art’ gallery. We strongly believe that the children’s final pieces of art should not be kept in a book, but should be celebrated and displayed, therefore we also provide the parents with the opportunity to come in for an annual art gallery to see their child’s work and take it home.
Alongside our curriculum, we also provide the children with a wide range of opportunities to explore other areas of art through Art Clubs and making cross curricular links where possible.
