Art and Design
At Ormesby Primary School, our Art and Design curriculum inspires creativity, curiosity and self-expression. Through a carefully sequenced curriculum, pupils develop both the knowledge and skills needed to think and work as artists, enabling them to express ideas, communicate meaning and explore their creativity.
Children immerse themselves in the work of a diverse range of artists, designers and craftspeople, exploring their lives, styles, techniques and influences. They imitate artistic methods through experimentation with a range of materials and processes, developing skills across drawing, painting, printing, collage, sculpture and mixed media. Finally, they innovate, applying their knowledge and skills to create original artwork that reflects their own ideas, experiences and creativity.
Inspired by both the local environment and the wider world, pupils learn to observe closely, take creative risks, evaluate their work and refine their ideas. Through this process, they develop confidence, resilience and pride in their achievements while gaining an appreciation of the diverse ways that art can communicate meaning and enrich our lives.
