Art and Design
Our Art Vision is to creatively explore ideas through experimentation.
It is the intent that, all children at Cawston Grange Primary School will experience a wide range of activities which stimulates their imagination, expression and their understanding of the world they live in. In Art and Design, our children will be able to respond with a wide range of materials to the world they live in and also respond to work of others. It is our intention that children will experience a wide range of artists of different genders, nationalities and sexualities as well as artists from many different times periods in history. We will ensure they are aware of the diversity of not only the artwork but also those people who produce it. We intend art and design to be inclusive for all; allowing opportunities that will give them experiences to view the world they live in with an understanding and an appreciation of the diverse world we live in. As well as being able to create art, children will be able to gain a life-long appreciation of art and artists from our diverse world.
