Art

At Pimlico Primary, we believe that art is a vital part of a well-rounded education. We want children to grow both as artists and as art critics, developing their skills and appreciation under the guidance of our specialist art teacher.

Our art curriculum fosters a love for art by introducing children to significant artistic movements and techniques. We teach them the vocabulary to discuss and appreciate art, while also giving them the skills to create their own works. Students engage in activities like drawing, painting, sculpture, and textiles, building on their previous learning and developing their personal artistic expression.

We connect art to other subjects, like studying ancient Egyptian designs in Year 3, to deepen their understanding of history and culture. We also take advantage of our local area’s resources, like the nearby Tate Britain, to offer students the chance to experience ‘art in action.’ Workshops by visiting artists and art clubs further enrich their experience and make art a vibrant part of school life.
