Art and design at Eastern Green Junior School encourages creativity, imagination and self-expression. Pupils explore a wide range of artistic techniques while developing their ability to observe, experiment and reflect on their work. 

 

Our art curriculum helps pupils develop:

• drawing and observational skills

• painting and colour techniques

• sculpture and three-dimensional design

• creative experimentation with different materials

Pupils also study the work of a range of artists and artistic traditions, helping them understand how art reflects culture and history.

Sketchbooks are used to record ideas, practise techniques and reflect on artistic development.
