Art

Weekly term-time art class teaching step-by-step, traditional drawing, painting and sculpture. Unique projects; experienced teachers, and professional quality materials. Our Reception - Year 6 groups are suitable for all abilities, and projects are designed carefully to be stimulating and challenging for everyone.


The theme for the Autumn Term is ‘Safari Adventures’ 🐘🌅
This term, students will embark on an exciting artistic journey into the heart of the African savannah, exploring its incredible wildlife, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant visual culture through a carefully designed series of creative projects. Children will be inspired by the movement, patterns, and personality of iconic safari animals, while developing their own artistic expression and confidence.

Across the term, students will explore a wide range of safari-inspired subjects, from sweeping savannah landscapes and expressive animal studies to textured still life and patterned design work. Projects will include watercolour, ink, pastel, pencil, acrylic, printmaking, and clay, giving children the opportunity to experiment confidently with different materials and techniques while developing their own artistic style.


Throughout the term, we place a strong emphasis on observational drawing, experimentation with materials, and an appreciation of wildlife and global artistic traditions. Lessons are carefully structured to introduce engaging contextual learning alongside hands-on making, helping students understand both the creative process and the inspiration behind the work. All projects are thoughtfully adapted by age group to ensure younger students feel supported and confident, while older students are encouraged to refine their technique and push creative boundaries.

By the end of the term, students will have created a diverse and expressive body of work, strengthened their technical skills across multiple media, and developed a deeper appreciation of the natural world and the rich artistic traditions that inspire it.
