'Every Child Is An Artist' - Picasso
Holmes Chapel Primary School provides children with an exciting and enriched curriculum. 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.
The Art Curriculum
Throughout the school, the children will be taught to record and explore ideas from first hand observations as well as drawing inspiration from famous artists and designers. They will compare their own ideas, methods and approaches with those of others and adapt and develop their work according to their views. The children will also be given the opportunity to work with specialist artists from outside the school.
All children in every year group will be taught to refine their drawing and observation skills, looking at line, shape, tone and texture.
In addition to each Year group’s objectives, The whole school will participate in an annual collaborative ‘Arts week’ which will have a collective theme to show progression in a specific skill across the school.
