Art and Design
and
Design and Technology
Our Art and Design and Design and Technology curriculum inspires our children and develops their understanding of the world. Through opportunities to experiment with a range of materials and time to explore their own ideas children develop their techniques and understanding of the visual elements. In both subjects children spend time designing, creating and evaluating their work.
We feel it is very important that children see that Art and Design is all around us. Each term children learn about a new artist, sculptor or designer. Children have worked with a local Bristol artist who led painting and drawing workshops at our school. In Year 4 children visit the RWA Bristol Art Gallery to see a range of art work. In the summer months, teachers take children outside to sketch in our beautiful school grounds.
We celebrate our children's creativity by displaying their work in classrooms, our dining hall gallery and on our website.
