Art and Design
How we teach Art & Design
Our curriculum provides a clear and comprehensive scheme of work that will show progression of skills across all key stages within the strands of Art and Design. Within the curriculum our pupils are introduced to a wide and diverse range of artists, designers and architects, including those famous locally, nationally and internationally.
During each unit of work a final piece of artwork is produced to be displayed and/or shared. Pupils are encouraged to use their imaginations and use a wide variety of media, developing an awareness of colour, texture, design and dimension.
Enrichment opportunities are provided throughout and beyond our art and design curriculum for all pupils. These include art club and opportunities to visit galleries and view works of art.
We use the National Curriculum to plan our Art curriculum.
