Art at Riverside

Art and Design by its very nature is an inspiring and creative subject much loved by children. It is a window onto the world and into the imagination of the artist.

Our curriculum builds and flows through the year from a whole school focus and collaboration at a national level in the form of Take One Picture, to discrete designer and architect study. Following on from this, children will experience major art movements  chronologically through time from the Renaissance to Contemporary Art.  Finally, children will explore art and design within four key concepts: joy, nature, freedom and peace. Each child will be given the creative freedom to embark on a self-directed art project , to connect artistically with the community, culminating in our own child-curated Riverside Summer Exhibition.
