The Endeavour Art Vision

At Endeavour Primary School, we value art and place a great emphasis on its importance as part of the Integrated Curriculum. Art enables children to express themselves in a creative, imaginative manner. We intend to give the children many opportunities to develop their skills and to express their interests, thoughts and ideas with individuality and creativity flowing through everything they do.

The teaching of Art is planned through the Integrated Curriculum. Each year group has Art planned through the Project alongside learning about an Artist. Areas covered include tile printing, still life, clay modelling, collage and sculpture as well as painting, sketching and exploring a variety of art mediums.

Every child is an artist at Endeavour Primary school – some just don’t realise! There is no right or wrong in art and we remove fear and encourage children to express their ideas.  Our integrated curriculum is enriched with Art & Design. A key focus at Endeavour is the development of tier 2 and 3 vocabulary.
