Art and Design Technology

Art Intent

Our intention is to provide the children with good quality art experiences that they value and which are not only a part of their education but also as a support to their well-being and connection to others. We wish the children to take part in activities that promote learning to benefit the whole child and to provide a creative curriculum which will enable each child to reach their full potential in learning in the arts.  The purpose of which is for the children to have a broad experience of the arts giving them skills, ideas and knowledge necessary for them to express themselves and respond creatively to the world they inhabit.

DT Intent

Our intent in Design and Technology at Bearbrook is that throughout the academic year the children will be using their creativity and imagination to gradually build a knowledge base for Design and Technology. They will design and make products that help resolve real life design predicaments and will be contemplating their own and others’ requirements to come to a decision about their final product through discussion, drawing and planning.

They will attain a wide variety of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as engineering, design, art and maths. The children will have the opportunity to take up challenges that will improve their design skills by making them more inventive, practical and adventurous.
