At Moorthorpe, Art & Design will provide us with the opportunity to be imaginative, creative, expressive individuals!
Our Art & Design curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils will:
- produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
- develop proficiency in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art and design techniques
- make decisions about their approach to different challenges
- reflect on, evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art
- know about great artists and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms
- explain how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation
- take pride in their accomplishments by seeing vibrant art work displayed throughout school
- be inspired by our local area and our history as well as the wider world
