Children look at the art work of famous and local artists and some of their work is based on what they discover after in depth investigation into styles and techniques. Some art work is inspired by the children’s own interests and observations of the natural world around them.
Children in Early years have great fun exploring paint and collage amongst other art techniques. Early years is definitely the place to get messy and develop those skills so they can be improved throughout school life.
We offer opportunities to visit galleries and exhibitions or have visitors in to school to demonstrate their artistic talents.
