Art and Design
At Acton CEVC Primary School we believe that art and design stimulates creativity and imagination and provides children with a unique way of understanding and responding to the world. It enables children to communicate what they see, feel and think, through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes and they learn to make informed judgements, and aesthetic and practical decisions. Through learning about the roles and functions of art, we want children to have the opportunity to explore the impact it has had on contemporary life and on different periods and cultures as we recognise that art enriches all of our lives.
