ART AND DESIGN

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity.  At Parkside, we work to provide a high-quality Art and Design education that equips children with the knowledge, understanding and competence to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design and to use these forms to express their ideas and thoughts.

Our curriculum enables children to explore and develop skills through drawing, painting and crafting. With plentiful opportunities to explore in Art, children's knowledge and application of the formal elements grows and deepens. 

As pupils progress through our school, they begin to think and work in an increasingly critical way. Children develop a more rigorous understanding of Art, Craft and Design, working with ever increasing skill and knowledge in a range of different media to produce work that explores a range of different ideas and is thoughtful in nature.
