Art and Design
Curriculum Intent
At Chyngton we teach art in order for children to creatively explore and develop successful techniques in a range of media. We aim to build children’s confidence and resilience to apply these skills to produce outcomes of which they are proud. This involves:
- Observing, sketching and revising work
- Developing and improving specific techniques
- Learning about the work of artists and crafts people
- Beginning to evaluate works of art using subject specific vocabulary

In Art, our year 2 children have started a project about boats. They have looked at the work of Hew Locke and J M W Turner as inspiration, and have produced some beautiful chalk and charcoal drawings in response.
They have focused on movement and atmosphere and have all made such a good job. Please have a look at the wonderful and unique range of work they completed. Well done year 2!
