Art and Design
At George Eliot, it is our aim that the art and design curriculum will be both stimulating and motivating in order to capture the children`s curiosity and fuel their motivation to learn. We encourage our children to express their individuality through learning, playing and exploring together. At George Eliot, art and design provides the children with exciting learning opportunities so that they can enjoy acquiring and developing their skills while deepening their understanding and knowledge.
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. We aim to provide a high-quality art and design education which engages, inspires and challenges children while equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
Through art and design, pupils can:
- Produce creative work – recording experiences and observations, exploring and combining ideas, thoughts, imagination, senses and emotions.
- Explore, experiment with and enjoy a range of drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design skills and techniques, developing increasing proficiency and confidence
- Learn to evaluate, analyse and discuss their own and others’ creative works using the language of art, craft and design
- Know about great artists, craft makers and designers and movements, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
