Mrs Clark Brooks and Mrs Bridges are our Art Leaders
Within the art lessons we encourage children to explore and experiment while developing their artistic skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, printmaking and textiles. We enable the children to learn about significant artists and specific skills and knowledge to gain confidence and competence in a new technique before they create their own or collaborative art work, sometimes in the style of a particular artist. Children are given an opportunity to discuss their ideas and feelings about their own work and the work of others fostering an appreciation of art.
Each term the children also experience a Year Group 'Artist in Residence' day where they learn about a specific artist/style or technique in an immersive learning day. We showcase the children's superb art work when we invite parents in for a 'Art Exhibition'. Feedback from our exhibitions is overwhelmingly positive. You can read the testimonials below.
