Art and Design Curriculum

Art and Design

 

Shining Together, We Reach for the Stars.

 

Purpose of study

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. We Use the Kapow Art Curriculum. Please see below our Art and Design Curriculum showing clear progression with our Intent, Implementation and Impact explained, 

The national curriculum for art and design aims to ensure that all pupils:

  •          produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
  •          become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
  •          evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design
  •          know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms
 
Connectivity
As a part of our whole school cohesion in the curriculum, we adopt an enquiry focus each term, e.g. being historians, geographers, artists, musicians, linguists... We believe that this creates better connectivity between the subjects, making learning more relevant to the children so that they are inspired to 'reach for the stars' as a school team and personally.

Our Long term curriculum is currently being ‘built as we go’, due to changes this year in mixed age classes. Please watch this space for updates and amendments. Please be assured all subjects and objectives are being covered.
