Art
Pupils will participate in at least one Art unit of work each year, enabling them to build upon key skills and knowledge throughout their school career. Concepts will be taught through an exciting thematic and cross curricular approach to learning. At the start of each unit of work the pupils will be introduced to the topic through a memorable experience, these can include exciting activities in school, visits to museums and art galleries and workshops delivered by specialist teachers. Within the teaching of art, the children will be given the opportunity to experience a wide range of mediums including charcoal, acrylic, watercolours, 3D modelling and pastels. The children will be taught how to colour mix and create many different effects using an array of brushes and tools. Alongside creating pieces of artwork, the pupils will be taught how to critically explore and analyse artwork and art forms, they will develop an understanding and appreciation of many famous artists and art movements. Our aim is to develop and foster the children’s authenticity, creating their own unique artwork and discussing the intentions behind their art.
