Art is a creative activity that expresses imaginative or technical skill.
Art and Design is a valued part of our curriculum. We believe every individual is naturally creative and that through the arts this creativity can be developed, nurtured and enriched. Our high-quality art and design curriculum engages, inspires and challenges 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 are able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design.
The strands for working artistically which we cover are:
- Shape
- Line
- Colour
- Value
- form
- Texture
- Space
At All Saints we believe that Art can help children express their feelings and emotions. We ensure that all children are confident at art and use the lessons and to express their interests and unique style.
The national curriculum for art and design aims to ensure that all pupils:
- produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
- become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
- evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design
- know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
