Art and Design

Subject Intent

Woodfield Primary School believes that art is a vital part of children’s education and therefore has a significant and valuable role in our curriculum. The curriculum is designed so that children can produce creative work by exploring their ideas and recording their experiences. Children will become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art. Children will evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art and design. The art curriculum will develop children’s understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through studying a diverse range of artists and art forms.

Subject Progression

Implementation

EYFS: Expressive Arts and Design

Children within the Early Years Setting have regular opportunities to engage with the arts by exploring and playing with a wide range of media and materials. The children have access to constructions, collage, painting and drawing activities, using appropriate tools and art materials. These opportunities are important for self-expression and vocabulary development and also allow children to communicate through the arts.

Inquiry-Based Curriculum

Pupils in KS1 and KS2 follow an inquiry-based curriculum for art, working towards answering an overarching question based upon their artist/skill for that term. (Insert inquiry questions)

Key Stage 1

Children within Key Stage 1 follow the national curriculum for art. Children will be taught how to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products. They will develop a range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.

We separate the 3 main skills of drawing, painting and sculpture into the 3 terms of the year to allow children to develop and share their ideas, building on their experiences and imagination

Children will learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines.

Key Stage 2

Children within Key Stage 2 follow the national curriculum for art. Children will be taught how to further develop their techniques, including their control and use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art.

Pupils will be taught to create sketchbooks to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas.

We separate the 3 main skills of drawing, painting and sculpture into the 3 terms of the year to allow children to develop and share their ideas, building on their experiences and imagination. Pupils should be improving their mastery of these skills within KS2

Children will learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers in history
