Curriculum Intent – Art

The art curriculum is designed to recognise the children’s prior knowledge, to give them the opportunities to use a variety of materials when producing creative work, to appreciate the work other artists, and to explore ideas and become creative and critical thinkers.

Lessons will be planned to ensure children are engaged, enthused and interested, and that key skills are developed to show creativity and progress.

We will aim for all children to become proficient in drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture, and to be able to evaluate and analyse their own work, and that of well-known artists and crafts people.

We will proudly celebrate the arts in our school, and share our many successes with different audiences.
