Art & Design
At Mark Cross Church of England Primary School, we value Art and Design as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Through quality first teaching, children will explore art and design in a variety of forms and create their own works of art from a multitude of starting points. Our Art & Design curriculum will enable children to develop their creative imagination and express their individual interests, thought and ideas, allowing them to communicate what they see, feel and think through using a range of media and materials whilst developing and extending their skills. Throughout the key stages, children’s experiences of art is enriched by finding out about artists and designers (past and present) and exploring our local environment for inspiration. We aim to ensure that all children are given high quality experiences, including those who may not have these opportunities outside of school.
