Art

Our Vision

At Moss Park, we believe art is a vital part of every child’s education, inspiring creativity, self-expression, and emotional well-being. Our art curriculum empowers children to produce imaginative and meaningful work, explore their ideas, and develop their skills through hands-on experiences.

Art at Moss Park is a journey of discovery and growth. Through drawing, painting, sculpting, and crafting, pupils learn to express themselves confidently, analyse and evaluate the work of others, and appreciate the rich history and culture of art and design.

Our Aims

• Produce creative and imaginative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences.

• Become proficient in a variety of techniques, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and crafts such as collage, printing, weaving, and pattern-making.

• Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft, and design.

• Learn about great artists, architects, and designers, understanding the historical and cultural development of their art forms.

Implementation

Our art curriculum is designed to ensure progression in skills, knowledge, and creativity, while fostering curiosity and a love of art. Lessons are structured to help children explore and experiment with a wide range of materials and techniques, encouraging both creativity and technical proficiency.

Children use sketchbooks to record observations, revisit ideas, and document their artistic journey. They are introduced to a range of influential artists, architects, and designers, learning to evaluate and take inspiration from their work.

Art at Moss Park also supports emotional expression, helping children build confidence and enhance their personal, social, and emotional development. By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils leave Moss Park with a strong foundation in art, equipped with the skills and inspiration to continue exploring the world of creativity and design.
