Art and design

At Emsworth Primary School we believe that art is an exciting, creative and expiring subject allowing all abilities of children to excel and flourish. It enables children to appreciate the world around them, be creative and begin to appreciate the history of art and how art impacts on our society.

Year groups will experience skills based on painting, drawing, ICT, printing, clay, textiles, collage and sculpture. We will ensure there is a clear progression of these skills throughout the school. Famous artists will be studied to allow children to create artwork in a range of styles.

We always support any local art competitions based in the Emsworth community and we have a weekly after school art club run by parents.
