Downside Primary School

 Art

Intent

At our school we offer an ambitious, high-quality Art curriculum designed to inspire our children to become future artists and equip them with the knowledge and skills to do this. Our staff value Art as a vital part of the entitlement of our children’s broad and balanced curriculum. We hope to inspire and educate our children by studying influential, exemplary artists from different cultures and eras. We hope that Art will help to develop our children’s perception of themselves and appreciation of the world around them. Our children will enjoy opportunities to experiment, develop their skills and fulfil their artistic potential.
