Art and Design
Intent
The intent of our curriculum for Art and Design at Lacock Primary School is to develop creativity, set challenges, engage and inspire children and equip them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. We aim to enable pupils to create artwork with a real purpose when displaying and sharing the work they create and showcasing the skills and progress they have made.
Our art and design curriculum aims to ensure that all children:
-
engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
