"Children are naturally creative. It is our job to give them the freedom, materials and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential." Jean Van't Hul

Children learn to express their ideas creatively through a range of media and materials. To do this children must learn certain techniques and processes. We utilise the Kapow scheme of learning to sequence our learning progression. Our art curriculum teaches drawing, painting, collage and textiles, printing and sculpture. Whilst learning the skills, process and techniques required to work with this range of media and material, children are encouraged to explore the ‘big ideas’ of Line, Colour, Tone, Form, Shape, Texture and Pattern.
Children are taught to explore and develop their own ideas through every unit of work. Whilst developing their own ideas they explore the work of notable artists and artisans using terminology linked to our big ideas. By the end of their primary phase, children will be able to talk confidently about the influence of notable artists on styles and society and will be able to use what they have learned to create their own original artwork influenced by this study.
