Art

What an Art lesson can look like in our school:

Art can be taught discreetly or through a cross-curricular approach
Evidence of art can be seen on display, in books and in sketchbooks
Opportunities given to inspire children’s curiosity about art
A well planned ‘Progression of Skills’ to enable the children to work on and develop new skills in each Year.
Opportunity is given to edit and improve pieces of art

This is how it works:

Each term, every child creates a minimum of one piece of art work either via a cross curricular approach or as a discrete skill
Work is updated and displayed in classrooms throughout the year
Collaborative work in each year group for topic/any subject is produced
Collaborative school projects throughout the year

This is our philosophy:

High quality modelling and scaffolding of the skill leading to high quality art work.
Children learning through exploring different artistic styles whilst acquiring new skills.
Cross-curricular links wherever possible
Encourage children to show resilience and perseverance

This is what we do:

We follow a progressive skills curriculum that develops key themes: drawing, painting, printing, textile, collage, 3D form and developing and editing work.
The skills are covered through cross curricular work that will enable the children to develop and use that skill.
By the time the children leave Year 6, they will have covered a wide range of artists and artist styles
We critique the work of famous artists in different fields to inspire our own pieces of art
Lessons may be taught discreetly or as a block of lessons. Links with other areas of the curriculum are embraced to provide a more meaningful learning experience
Raised profile of art work through the use of displays to showcase work.
Open Evening provides opportunities for parental involvement to showcase artwork projects.
