Our Art curriculum provides children with the opportunity to understand and respond to the world. It enables them to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form and pattern.
At Bevington, children are encouraged to evaluate their own ideas and the work of others, saying what they think and feel about it. They explore a range of artists, developing these influences into their own work.
At Bevington art experiences are often adapted to reflect the local environment of the school and the cultural influences of the children.
Areas of Learning

Please find the progression map for Art at Bevington below. This map details the skills and knowledge pupils are taught in each year through the school.
Art Mornings
We hold regular art mornings to celebrate art across the school. Each art morning takes an artist or a piece of work as a focal point. Pupils across the school then work during the morning to create their own response to this stimulus.
