Art and Design
Subject Leader: Mrs Ramsden
Our Art and Design 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 had on contemporary life and that of different times and cultures. The appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts enriches all our lives.

Here are our Key Vocabulary Progression Pyramids for Art and Design
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up". Pablo Picasso
Pop Art Planets
This half term children in KS1 have been learning about Romero Britto, a Brazillian pop artist. Children have enjoyed learning about colour mixing, primary, secondary and tertiary colours and applying these in a pop art style, making pop art planets!
