Art at Cragside

Through our engaging art curriculum, pupils gain a wide understanding and knowledge of art mediums and styles. They are also presented with opportunities to study the work of a diverse range of artists and designers.

Our art offer ensures that children are equipped with the conceptual understanding and skills to enable them to express their creative responses to ideas and experiences in a visual or tactile form. Our curriculum also challenges children and encourages them to experiment and refine their ideas and compositions. 

Whilst art is a practical subject, opportunities are given for the children to reflect and develop their ability to make critical responses with increasing sensitivity to their own work and that of others.
