Art and Design

Intent

At Sutton in Craven CP we deliver a high-quality art and design curriculum that aims to engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. Our focus is on the creative journey the pupils undertake, developing their skills by giving them a range of materials and contexts to work within and encouraging them to try out new things. We want to equip all our pupils with the knowledge and skills to experiment through their art. Lessons will offer the chance for pupils to develop their emotional expression through art to further enhance their personal, social and emotional development. We will give opportunities for pupils to think critically about the work from a range of artists and want our pupils to appreciate art and design in its many different forms. Our aim is that pupils to develop their skills and confidence so that they can produce pieces they are proud of.
