The Intent of our Art and Design Curriculum

At Kirkham and Wesham Primary School, we aim to inspire children through high-quality Art lessons, fostering innovative thinking and creative skills. Our Art curriculum provides children with opportunities to develop their skills using a range of media and materials. 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.

Children will be introduced to a range of works and develop knowledge of the styles and vocabulary used by famous artists. It is paramount that artwork be purposeful; be this as a means of expression or to explore the styles of other artists that inspire our own work. In Art, children are expected to be reflective and evaluate their work, thinking about how they can make changes and keep improving. Children are encouraged to take risks and experiment with a variety of media and techniques.
