“You can’t use up creativity.  The more you use the more you have.”

Maya Angelou

“Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness.”

Anni Albers

Art at Hillside aims to encourage interest in and enjoyment of drawing, painting and sculpting.  We want to give children an understanding of techniques to create effects, the different media that can be used and the work of different artists.

This is achieved through a range of learning opportunities and experiences delivered through an enquiry approach as a curriculum enhancer.  Children learn key knowledge and are encouraged to develop the skills of an artist such as techniques using line, colour, pattern, texture and shape for effect.

A year 6 artist can:

• Describe an art technique and say why it is effective.
• Explain how to show emotion and movement in art.
• Name 2 artists and talk about their work.
