Art at Longcot and Fernham primary school
“All children are artists” – Pablo Picasso
In our school, the teaching of art and design and the curriculum develop in pupils the creativity skills and engagement whist inspire and challenge them with the appropriate vocabulary, knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own work of art. Creativity, through art and design, is valued and celebrated by the school community.
We thrive to teach a high-quality curriculum in art and design that supports their own ideas, as well as learning new techniques or becoming proficient in artistic skills such as drawing or painting.
As pupils progress, they think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of the subject. We encourage children to develop their creativity and imaginative talents through learning different skills and techniques and using a variety of materials and tools. They will also learn to appreciate their works of art and use artistic language to describe paintings, sculptures and other artefacts. At the same time, children will be involved in a learning culture, introducing different artists through the years.
