The intent of our Art Curriculum is to:

• Provide opportunities to express themselves, promote independence and encourage initiative through their art experiences.
• Develop knowledge of materials by allowing them to experiment freely and encourage them to use materials sensibly and safely.
• Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
• Develop an understanding of great artists, craft makers and designers and use this knowledge to reflect on, analyse and critically evaluate their own work and that of others.

The implementation of our Art Curriculum:

The intended impact of our Art Curriculum is that:

By the end of KS2, our children will be both skilled and empowered to appreciate visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a special way of understanding and responding to the world. We focus on progression of knowledge, skills and discreet vocabulary. Our art curriculum enables children of all abilities to be able to develop their knowledge and understanding of the work of artists, craftspeople and designers from a range of times and cultures and apply this knowledge to their own work. The children will learn to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes. When reflecting they will learn to discuss their thoughts, ideas, processes and evaluations of work.
