Art

At Helmshore Primary School we believe that Art & Design contributes to the development of the child emotionally, aesthetically, spiritually, intellectually and socially, creating a sense of enjoyment and purpose.

We use the National Curriculum as a basis for our planning and the children are provided with opportunities to work with a variety of materials and tools. They are encouraged to explore and develop their own ideas and develop their techniques. The children explore the work of artists, craftspeople and designers in different times and cultures and wherever possible artists are invited into school to work collaboratively with the children.
