Vision for Art and Design Learning"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
Pablo Picasso "That's the great thing about art. Anybody can do it if you just believe. With practice, you can make great paintings"

At Morda Primary school, we believe art and design to be an essential part of the curriculum. Art allows the child to develop their imagination and creativity, to make connections through their inventive minds and gives children the skills to record their imagination and ideas.
Art also encourages expression and visual thinking, which in turn helps children learn other subjects. Children can develop their observational skills through art and design, which helps children become better observers to the world around them. Children experiment with the use of colour, texture, form, line, shape, pattern and use different materials. The children learn to improve their mastery of art and design techniques by learning specific drawing, painting, printing, and sculpture techniques. The children use technology to produce images, patterns, and decorative pieces of work. They will record their observations and ideas and use them to review and evaluate improvements. They take inspiration from nature, design and will also learn about great artists, architects, and designers in history. Art Curriculum |
