Nursery Hill Primary School

Art

At Nursery Hill, our Art and Design curriculum is designed to inspire creativity, build technical skills, and encourage self-expression. We aim to develop well-rounded, confident artists who can think critically and explore a variety of media, from traditional techniques to digital art. By introducing students to diverse artists, movements, and cultures, we help them understand the broader role of art in society, while fostering the skills needed for lifelong creativity and personal growth. Throughout their studies, we focus on ensuring students have a strong foundation in both creative thinking and technical execution, equipping them for future artistic endeavours.

We aim to:

Develop Creativity: Encouraging students to think outside the box, explore their ideas, and communicate their thoughts and emotions through their artwork.
Build Technical Skills: Provide opportunities for students to develop their understanding of a variety of media, tools, and techniques, including drawing, painting, sculpture, digital art, and design, building a well-rounded skill set.
Promote Cultural Awareness: Introduce students to a diverse range of artists, art movements, and global artistic traditions, broadening their understanding of the role art plays in society and culture.
Encourage Critical Thinking: Foster an understanding of art history, encouraging students to evaluate, critique, and reflect on their own work and the work of others with confidence and respect.
Instill a Passion for Lifelong Learning: Inspire a lifelong passion for creativity that will continue beyond the classroom, empowering students to pursue their artistic interests and careers in the future.
