Inspiring Great Artists

At Great Orton, we believe that Art has a significant and valuable role to play in the curriculum/overall ethos of the school. In weekly lessons (every other half term), children are given the opportunity to develop their skills, deepen their understanding of Art in the world around them and actively investigate influences of past and present artists. Children of all abilities and backgrounds are supported along their journey of challenge, creativity and exploration. Children are able to ‘meet’ a range of artists and explore their movements in detail. Opportunities are provided at the end of the half term in which Art has been taught to produce an independent piece of artwork that showcases the children’s skill, expression and style. Children are encouraged to experiment outside their comfort zone and exceed their self-identified limitations of ‘art’ while developing a love for the subject and the mental wellbeing opportunities it can provide.
