Art and Design focusses on developing creativity, imagination, and visual expression. It introduces us to various artistic techniques, materials, and mediums, encouraging us to explore and express our ideas through drawing, painting, sculpture, and other forms of visual art. Through Art and Design, we foster an appreciation of art by learning about the work of different artists and cultures, helping us to understand and comment on art while building confidence in our artistic abilities.

At Eye CE Primary School, we aim for our Art and Design curriculum to inspire creativity, develop cultural awareness, and instil a lifelong appreciation for the arts in our pupils. We believe that exposure to high-quality art education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and emotional intelligence. Our curriculum aims to provide a well-rounded education that celebrates diversity, encourages imaginative thinking, and nurtures individual expression. We are committed to ensuring that our children have the opportunity to explore their artistic talents, flourish and achieve.

Our Art and Design curriculum is carefully structured to deliver high-quality teaching and learning experiences that engage, challenge, and inspire our pupils. We have a progressive curriculum that builds upon prior knowledge and skills, incorporating a range of artistic techniques, styles, and mediums.

Through a combination of approaches, pupils at Eye CE Primary School are encouraged to explore their creativity, develop their technical skills, and showcase their work through various platforms within the school and the wider community. We aim to develop a rich cultural heritage by inviting local artists to enrich our pupils' learning experiences and broaden their understanding of the artistic world.
