‘Art is a place for children to learn to trust their ideas, themselves, and to explore what is possible’ – Maryann F. Kohl
We are imaginative and creative artists. We enjoy expressing ourselves through art and use many techniques to do so. Through art, we celebrate our strengths and individuality. We explore inspirational works of art and develop our skills, knowledge and confidence when working with a wide range of materials. Linking our learning to other topics creates a rich and varied art curriculum here. To find out about the art we learn in each year group, click on our long term plan below.
