Art and Design

At Mrs Ethelston’s, we aim to develop children’s creativity through our topics. Each topic is designed to cover a wide range of skills that progress through each year. They have opportunities to draw, paint, print, make collages, use fabrics and threads and use clay. They are taught the skills and techniques, then given the opportunity to practise them to produce individual and group pieces of work. We also encourage the children to study a variety of classical and modern artists such as Van Gogh, William Morris and Roy Lichtenstein . As children go through the school, they are encouraged to think critically and develop an understanding about art and design. We often invite artists to work with the children providing valuable experience and expertise creating both collaborative and individual art.
