Art
Our vision for the primary art curriculum at Oxbridge Lane Primary School is to ignite curiosity and foster a passion for creativity in every pupil. We believe in providing hands-on, engaging experiences that empower children to explore their artistic abilities and express themselves confidently. By cultivating resilience through artistic challenges, we ensure that every pupil’s unique contributions are valued, nurturing a community where creativity thrives and individual voices shine.
We recognise the importance of nurturing creativity and imagination. We believe that art stimulates creativity, imagination and inventiveness. Artistic and creative activities have a thoughtful and therapeutic benefit which is also encouraged. We provide a rich and varied curriculum where children are given opportunities to understand, explore and respond to the world around them while developing and building on their skills and knowledge as they move through school.
Through a range of carefully structured art and design projects, they explore ideas and meanings in the work of artists and designers which they may then use as inspiration to develop within their own work. Children are encouraged to experiment with many different resources and mediums, using colour, form, texture and pattern to communicate what they see, feel and think, expressing themselves regardless of ability. Self- evaluation of work is also encouraged so that children learn how to be resilient to achieve their goals.
We aim to inspire a lifelong appreciation for the arts through collaboration, and self-discovery. By nurturing each child's unique artistic voice, we empower them to connect with the world around them and express their ideas and emotions confidently.
