Art

Our art curriculum engages, inspires and challenges our pupils equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art.

Children learn the skills of drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles, 3D work and digital art and are given the opportunity to explore and evaluate different creative ideas

Each year group studies two artists and their work, focusing on a key aspect of their style. Children learn how the art they are studying fits in along the continuum of art development and the impact it had at the time. We encourage children to express opinions about the art they study as well as being reflective about what they create themselves. Each unit builds in time for creating a composition, editing and revising it as well as evaluating it at the end.

During their time at school, we believe it is important for children to be exposed to art in galleries and therefore we utilise the many galleries available to us in London.
