ART

“Every human is an artist.” (Don Miguel Riz)

Art Intent: We recognise that Art and Design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a special way of understanding and responding to the world. It enables children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes.

We encourage children to explore ideas and meanings through the work of a range of artists and designers. Through learning about the roles and functions of art, they can explore the impact it has on contemporary life and that of different times and cultures. The appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts enriches all our lives.

Design and Technology

“There are three responses to a piece of design. YES, NO and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for” (Milton Glaser)

DT Intent: In Design & Technology, and supported throughout all subjects, we aim to provide inspiring and practical D&T education, equipping children with the skills to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. We want them to acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as Maths, Science, Engineering, Computing and Art. The children will learn how to take risks, become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. We aim to educate our children to critically evaluate past and present design and technology and understand the essential contribution that high-quality design and technology has on culture, wealth and the well-being of the nation.
