At Wallop Primary School it is our intention to ignite children’s creativity and guide them to reach their full potential.  Our high quality art and design education engages, inspires and challenges pupils, equipping them with the positive attitude, knowledge and skills to create their own artworks and respond critically to the artwork of others. Children are provided with opportunities to explore, take risks and progress confidently in this area of learning. It is our aim that children will build their knowledge and understanding of different media, materials and techniques so that they can communicate their ideas confidently with enthusiasm and imagination.

We aim to give children opportunities to explore key areas of art and design including the following:

• Drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture
• Experimenting with a wide range of art and design techniques using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space
• Using a wide range of media and materials creatively to design and make products
• Exploring the work of great artists, crafts makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities and making links to their own work
• Collecting ideas in an art book
