Art and Design

Intent

Expressive arts and design is used to develop a child's imagination, creativity and their ability to use media and materials. Children do this in range of ways including singing songs and making music, dancing, playing with colours, textures and design. All these approaches to expressive arts help children to represent and understand their own feelings and ideas.

Implementation

• Drawing - Line, Pattern and Texture
• Painting, Printer and Colour
• Collage, Sculpture and 3-D Art
• Responding to Artwork and using a Sketchbook
