Art & Design and Technology

Art & DT - Our Vision

At Harlesden Primary School, our vision for the Art and Design Technology Curriculum is to equip children with the knowledge and skills to experiment, create and invent their own works of Art and Design. Our Art and DT curriculum programme promotes creativity and imagination; involving pupils in a range of visual, tactile, and sensory experiences. This enables them to communicate their feelings, knowledge, and ideas in their pieces of artwork. The diversity in our curriculum celebrates artists of all cultural and geographic backgrounds, observing how other artists approach their art through different styles, techniques, and concepts. 

DT allows pupils to learn how to become innovators and risk takers, working safely with a range of tools and materials. Through our weekly sessions, the Art and Design Technology Curriculum inspires all learners to take responsibility for their own learning through designing, problem solving and creating. 

Each topic has been carefully selected for each year group to ensure that there is a progression of knowledge and skills as the children move their way through the school. Pupils have excellent subject vocabulary that we embed from Early Years. We creatively connect Art and Design Technology learning with science, humanities, engineering, and technology to expose pupils to meaningful STEM projects.
