'Art has the role in education of helping children to become like themselves instead of more like everyone else'

At Delph Side Community Primary School, we aim to provide creative high-quality Art lessons to inspire and motivate our children to prepare them for their next stage of life.
Our Art and Design curriculum provides children with opportunities to develop their artistic skills using a range of media and materials. By the age of 11, the children will learn the skills of drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles, 3D work and digital art. Through this they are given opportunities to explore and evaluate different innovative ideas. Children will be introduced to varied pieces and develop knowledge of styles and vocabulary used by some famous artists. The skills they will obtain are applied to their other curriculum topics, allowing children to use their Art skills and understanding to reflect on and explore topics in greater detail; for example, by sketching historical artefacts in detail or using art as a medium to express emotion and to enhance their personal, social and emotional development.
