How we SOAR in Art and Design
Our goal for Art is that by the time they leave Nythe, each child will:
• Produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences.
• Become proficient in drawing painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques.
• Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
• Know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
At Nythe Nursery and Primary School, we want to engage, inspire and challenge pupils by introducing them to a broad range of techniques, materials and artists, craftspeople and designers.
We want to equip them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, explore, take risks, invent and create. It will enable them to be authentic and explore their own identity as well as being curious about respecting and connecting with others.
Most importantly, we want them to foster a positive, life-long relationship with the subject and have fun.
