At St. John’s CofE Primary School, our intention is to provide an Art Curriculum which allows children to explore their imagination, generate ideas, acquire skills, apply judgements and rejoice in their learning. Children will be given the opportunity to recognize and be inspired by the awe and wonder of God’s creation through studying work of artists.
We want our children to develop as critical and creative thinkers and enrich, extend and consolidate learning in a variety of contexts. Through systematic and progressive planning, we intend to encourage the children to express, explore and celebrate ideas, feelings, attitudes and values. We aim to foster originality and creativity using Art as a means of communication. Innovation and sensitivity to personal feelings and attitudes will permeate the school environment.
Throughout the curriculum children will be given opportunities:
- To develop knowledge, understanding and skills
- To learn about materials and techniques used by artists
- To learn about the world of art, craft and design
- To recognise achievements of artists and designers from different times and cultures.
We aim to raise the standards of the pupils’ abilities in specific Art and Design skills such as:
- Drawing
- Painting
- Sculpting
- Cutting and joining
- Effective use of sketchbooks throughout KS1 and KS2
- Evaluating.
We aim to increase opportunities for the children to experience:
- Art from different cultures
- Visits to art galleries and exhibitions
- Using different materials and techniques
- Art in our local area.
