Art and design

At Emsworth Primary School our curriculum intent is that art should engage, inspire and challenge pupils. We develop skills in critical evaluation and creativity so they can produce their own works of art, craft and design.

Pupils develop their skills in and their evaluation of painting, drawing, printing, clay, textiles, collage, design and sculpture. We ensure there is a clear progression of these skills throughout the school.

We always support any local art competitions based in the local community, including photography, and we have a weekly after school art club.
