Introduction
Art is taught in a well-equipped, specialist Art Room. All work programmes are in line with the National Curricilum for Art. Pupils are taught drawing, two and three-dimensional design, painting and crafts such as relief block printing and ceramics. They are given the opportunity to experiment and develop skills using a wide variety of techniques and media from pastels, chalk and charcoal, to inks, paint and collage. Pupils work from direct experience, memory and imagination. They are introduced to the work of artists, sculptors and crafts people from different periods and cultures and to use these as stimulation and development of their own work. Pupils are encouraged to practise their skills at home and then to share their work in school. A sketchbook is supplied to use during the year, to create a record of their ideas and sketches.
