Art and Design
Aims of the Art and Design curriculum at St Laurence's
At St Laurence’s, we aim for our children to explore a range of artists and genres and express themselves confidently through a wide variety of art and design projects. By the time children leave this school, we aim for our children to:
- Produce a range of creative art
- Develop skills in drawing, painting, collage, printing, and 3D art/ sculpture
- Appreciate the work of great artists from across history and the world and local, contemporary artists.

Art Week 2022
Our theme for Art Week this year was Illustration and all year groups were inspired by a different illustrator. They studied the work of this person and then tried to create work in the style of their chosen artist.
