Art and Design
Our Art and Design Curriculum
At Medstead, our learning in art and design is based on the Kapow Primary art and design scheme of work. This aims to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. It is designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history.
