Art Design

Our Art and Design curriculum focuses on skills, knowledge and techniques through the medium of different artists and has been designed to encourage curiosity, enjoyment, individuality and resilience. During art, children build their skills and develop their visual language to use different techniques with a range of media to produce a finished piece. This enables our children to express their creativity.
