Statemen of intent for Art

Intent

At Canon Popham C of E Primary Academy we are committed to providing every child with a strong Arts curriculum. This follows a clear disciplinary and substantive knowledge progression which feeds into a spiral curriculum. We feel this contributes to helping our children develop themselves as unique individuals, improve their resilience and perseverance to achieve their goals and securing positive attitudes to learning across the curriculum.

Implementation

As a school and in accordance with the National Curriculums expectations, we aim to ensure that all pupil:

  • Produce creative work

  • Explore their own ideas

  • Record their experiences

  • Become proficient at drawing, painting and sculpting

  • Evaluate and analyse creative works using subject specific vocabulary

  • Know about great artists, craft makers and designers

  • Understand historical and cultural developments of art forms

  • Children in KS2 will use sketchbooks to develop the skills and ideas

  • Go on educational visits.

The class teachers are responsible for the teaching of art and design technology, although there will be times when we use outside sources, such as the local secondary school, to help enrich our Art and Design provision.

Impact

·       Art and design learning is loved by teachers and pupils across school. 

·       Teachers have higher expectations and more quality evidence can be presented in a variety of ways. 

·       All children use technical vocabulary accurately.

·       Children will become more confident in analysing their work and giving their opinion on their own and other works of            art. 

·       Children show competences in improving their resilience and perseverance by continually evaluating and improving              their work. 

·       All children in school can speak confidently about their art and design work and their skills.

·        Due to the nature of this curriculum area, Art and Design monitoring takes various forms. A key component of this is             pupil voice; school Art & Design lead to use pupil voice as an effective tool to ascertain the pupils’ ability to express               themselves
