At Otley All Saints C.E. Primary School, we see the need for all children to have a broad, balanced art curriculum, where pupils are encouraged and given opportunities to work with a variety of media and materials using a range of equipment.  It is important that the environment in which pupils work is enriching and stimulating so that inventiveness coupled with creativeness can be developed. We encourage individuality and we also want our children to develop an understanding and appreciation of art from a range of artists and cultures, providing them with an understanding of the differing forms and mediums of art.  

 

We  want our children to have an understanding and awareness of the sustainable global goals in supporting art and design across the world and having an awareness of artists who are environmentally-friendly in their approaches.  

 

Children from Early Years to Year 6 are encouraged to be imaginative, creative and independent while adopting a structured approach to their work.
