Art

Our art curriculum is based on the 'Access Art Curriculum.' This is a curriculum that enables children to develop their creative, critical thinking and making skills. Children are encouraged to take risks and experiment on their art journey where they will be taught a progression of knowledge and skills. Children will meet, learn about and be stimulated and inspired by a wide range of artists and designers.

The foundations of the Art curriculum at Hilltop are underpinned by the practical, theoretical and disciplinary pillars and learnt through the key concepts of line, colour, shape, texture, pattern, form and space and shade and value. The children progressively learn these concepts in order to develop and create their own artwork through the mediums of drawing, painting, collage and printing and sculpture.
