At Chigwell Primary Academy a love of art is nurtured within all. Our imaginative and diverse art curriculum enables children to see art’s connection with the wider world. Throughout their time at Chigwell Primary Academy children have opportunities to explore and experiment with a wide variety of materials and techniques providing a solid foundation for their own creative expression. Our goal is to expose our children to a range of influential local and global artists and craft makers from past and present and become more historically, culturally and socially aware. Children explore their own unique ideas and use art as a purposeful form of expression. Through art, children develop their own sense of identity and become reflective artists whilst evaluating and appreciating work using the appropriate artistic vocabulary. Our aim is for children to become confident, independent artists in their own right, generating personal artistic outcomes.
