Art at Chesterton Primary School

Curriculum Intent

At Chesterton Primary School, the art curriculum aims to equip the children with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, challenging, inspiring and engaging them with a wide range of artist and techniques.

They will be exposed to art from around the world to deepen their global awareness and understand how art has shaped both our history and our world-wide culture.

The children at Chesterton will develop their life skills through the exploration of art. They will deepen their critical thinking and understanding, engage and ask questions. Through the school, the children will become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design. They will evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design

We aim to enrich the children's lives through art and allow them to express themselves in a way that is unique to art, design and craft.

Our Art Branches are:

  1. Design
  2. Create
  3. Evaluate
  4. Experiment
  5. Investigate
  6. Inspiration
