Art and Design
Our Art and DT curriculum intends to inspire creativity, self-expression and encourages our children on their creative journeys as well as giving them opportunities to connect with others. We hope to foster a life-long love of Art and DT by exposing them to diverse artists, architects, designers, and artistic experiences and igniting a passion for creativity and technology. By experimenting and allowing children to be individual we hope that children will respond to different artistic styles, finding their own creative path as artists and inventors. We aim to enable them to become confident, reflective artists. For us, the creative journey is just as important as the finished outcome and at times, teachers learn and explore alongside the children in an environment that fosters open-ended creativity. The children will learn to use a range of different materials creatively to design and make products. They will design, draw, paint, print, make and sculpt to develop skills, while exploring colour, pattern, texture and form. Skills are revisited and the use of ongoing sketchbook work underpins this process.
