Our Vision for Art and Design
At Lydgate, our vision is for our children to develop their creativity, skills and passion in Art and Design. We aim to engage, inspire and challenge our pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment and create their own works of art and design.
We follow the National Curriculum for Art and Design and also teach discrete art and design skills based lessons across school.
Pupils are taught to become proficient in the areas of drawing, painting, sculpture (3D Form), textiles and print making. They produce creative work through exploring and developing their ideas. They learn about a range of great artists and designers throughout History and use their art forms in order to influence their own art. Pupils are encouraged to evaluate creative works using the language of art and design.
