Art
At Newburgh CE Primary School our Art and Design Curriculum develops creativity, sets challenges, engages and inspires children and equips them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. The curriculum has appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding to explore and investigate, create and evaluate artwork as set out in the National Curriculum and so will enable the children to reach and exceed their potential. It will enable pupils to create art work with a real purpose in terms when displaying and sharing the work they create and showcasing the skills and progress they have made.
The purpose of our Art Curriculum at Newburgh CE Primary School is to engage and inspire pupils to develop a love and appreciation for art/artists and to nurture their natural talents as individuals to increase their self confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.
