Art and Design

Through exploring and discussing artwork, children will develop an appreciation and knowledge of a wide range of artists and artistic cultures. Pupils learn to express their ideas in visual form by using a range of techniques and mediums, including both 2D and 3D work. Opportunities to work with visiting artists and visit galleries further enhance children’s knowledge in this subject.
