Summary: painting, drawing, 3D and printmaking projects which either isolate the basic elements of pictorial and spatial representation, or have a practical application, or which extend into other disciplines like maths, history, science etc, with an age-appropriate approach.
Activities which explore the foundations of visual language, tie in with the national curriculum and any themes the school is working with.
