Art and Design

At King Edwin Primary School we follow the statutory guidance from the National Primary Curriculum for Art and Design. 
 

The teaching of Art and Design:

  • Inspires children to experiment and create their own works of art, craft and design. 

  • Equips children with the knowledge and skills to appreciate different forms of art and design.

  • Develops children’s ability to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art.

  • Enables children to understand how both art and design reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

  • Educates children about great artists, craft makers and designers, and enables them to understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms. 

  • Allows children to appreciate and make use of the local area and environment when designing and creating artwork.

It is important to us that children understand and appreciate the part of the world in which they live. We have created opportunities within the Art and Design curriculum to study artists from the North East.
