Art

Believe ~ Grow ~ Flourish

“Jesus came to give us life, life in all its fullness”

At Brigstock School we value the importance of Art and Design. Access Art has been specifically selected to enable our children to share and express their individual creativity, independence, resilience, and self-reflection. It is our intent to provide all children with the fundamental skills, techniques and knowledge needed to independently create their own unique drawings, paintings, sculptures, and crafts. It is our belief that our children will develop a sense of wonder and curiosity when studying a wide variety of artwork. We empower children to discover great artists that will enable them to explore their own and other’s cultural heritages. Here at Brigstock, we give the children the time and space to explore new themes, new sensations, and ways to be creative.

The teaching and implementation of the Art and Design Curriculum at Brigstock Primary School is based on the units outlined in the Access Art curriculum that has been carefully chosen to ensure our children experience ‘Life in all its Fullness’. Through carefully selected units, children are challenged to explore a range of topics and grow their skills. This allows the children to express their creative imagination as well as providing them with the opportunities to practice and develop mastery in the key processes of art.

By the end of each Key Stage, all children will have grown their understanding of the skills, knowledge and processes they have been taught so that they are proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft, and design techniques. Most importantly, children will leave Brigstock enabled to flourish; they will have embedded the key art and design skills needed to allow them to produce inventive pieces of art and reach their full potential.
