Nunnery Wood Primary School

Art & Design

At Nunnery Wood Primary School, we aim to deliver a high-quality art curriculum, which will ensure that pupils develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. Our scheme is designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history.

Throughout the art units, pupils will learn to:

  • produce creative work, explore their ideas and record 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
