Art & Design
Impact
National Curriculum Guidance
“Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.”
Intent
Our intent is that the teaching of reading will:
Encourage pupils to produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences. Provide the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills. Identify barriers that artists have had to overcome in order to flourish and share their creations with the world.
Use art to celebrate the diversity of this school. Understand that art is for everyone and that we can all express ourselves creatively. Have the opportunity to display their artwork in the school community and wonder at each others’ talents.
Support children in understanding that art and design take many forms: investigating, evaluating and appreciating the features of these. Develop and enhance skills through activity and challenge. Understand the role of art across the curriculum e.g religious paintings, cave paintings, Greek pottery.
Develop children’s knowledge of great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the local historical and cultural development of their art forms.
Inspire a lifelong appreciation of art and recognise the impact that art and creation have on people’s lives and our world. Understand that art is global and diverse. Appreciate how language, culture, religion and belief all influence our creativity.
In Art and Design, we aim for the impact to be:
- Children leave St Oswald’s having experienced developing skills in all the major areas of Art and Design as stated in the National Curriculum. Our curriculum balances in these different areas.
- Children’s art is celebrated in the classroom and through projects in the community.
- Children enjoy art, and feel like the subject allows everyone to succeed.
- Children can talk about famous artists and designers, understanding some of the impact these artists have had.
- Long Term Plan
