Art and Culture at King Richard III School
At King Richard III School, we know how important Art and Culture are for our children.
We are lucky to have a diverse community. It's important for our children to share their own culture and learn about others. Our art curriculum, supported by Access Art, focuses on three main areas: drawing, painting, and sculpture. Every child will learn the skills and knowledge needed to be a great artist.
Learning About Art
Children will look at and discuss the work of artists from different times, genders, and countries, including artists with different abilities. It's important for our children to see their own culture in our curriculum and learn about artists from around the world.
Creating Art
Children will have the chance to be creative and express themselves. They will learn art skills and gain confidence to explore and create. There are no limits to what they can make, whether they are confident or just starting out. Everyone will learn to explore art independently and thoughtfully.
Reflecting on Art
We give time for children to think about and discuss their own art and others' art. This helps them develop as artists and improves their speaking skills and self-confidence. In our multicultural school, with many EAL children, art helps communicate, whether through words or pictures.
