At Headfield Junior School our art curriculum is designed to provide enriched opportunities for children to express and explore their individual creativity. It provides each child with a valuable opportunity to develop a sense of belonging. At Headfield we believe that every child has the right to a broad and balanced curriculum enriched with opportunities to explore a project-based, themed approach. Our curriculum allows each child to invent, experiment and problem solve through many aspects of art and design. Children are introduced to a range of work and artistic styles by famous artists with the opportunity to experiment with these methods and techniques ultimately using them to develop their own artistic style.
