At Beechwood, the Art and Design curriculum is rooted in the school’s underlying aims, ethos and values. The core content of the curriculum develops over time; ensuring links between each year group are explicitly made and built upon. 

The Beechwood Art curriculum aims to:

• equip pupils with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design;
• develop pupils’ proficiency in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art and design techniques; 
• develop an understanding of particular characteristics and application of different artistic techniques;
• equip pupils with knowledge about some great artists, architects and designers and their role in influencing and shaping world culture;
• share ideas, experiences and imagination, to enable children to embody their creativity and personality through different mediums;
• engage, inspire and challenge pupils throughout the Art curriculum and give them the opportunity to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
