Art and Design

Art at Warren Farm

At Warren Farm we strive to provide a curriculum that enables our children to emerse themselves in art throughout all areas of the curriculum. We believe that art is a fantastic way for all children of all ages to express themselves, be creative and to explore.

We want our children to develop a love of learning and we provide opportunities for the children to experience art through; studying a wide range of famous artists, producing creative work; exploring their ideas and recording their experiences using a range of techniques and manipulates.
