Art

Our Arts and Design curriculum is based on the following principles:

That children develop confidence in creating and thinking critically- having confidence in their own ideas and choices.
That children develop their knowledge of Arts and Design through collaborative approaches
That children become inquisitive about the Arts and the different representations of Art.
That they learn how to use different and varied techniques and materials.
That they learn to use a multidisciplinary approach when planning and designing.
That children develop a knowledge of artists and designers from the past, present and future and become confident to take a positive role in the ever changing world.
