Art and Design at Shiney Row Primary School

“Children are naturally creative. It is our job to give them the freedom, materials, and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential.” — Jean Van't Hul

 

At Shiney Row Primary School, our Art and Design curriculum inspires creativity, imagination, and self-expression while fully meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum. Through drawing, painting, sculpture, and a range of craft techniques, pupils explore ideas, develop skills, and create original work with confidence.

We encourage children to experiment with materials and techniques, refining their artistic abilities while developing resilience, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of creative processes. Pupils learn to evaluate and discuss artwork using appropriate artistic language and gain insight into the work of significant artists and designers from different times and cultures.

By valuing creativity and artistic exploration, we nurture confident, curious learners with an appreciation of the visual arts. Our curriculum equips pupils with the skills, knowledge, and inspiration to express themselves creatively and develop a lifelong appreciation of art and design.
