Art and Design at Southey Green Primary School
Art and Design Lead: Miss S Bridge
Intent
At Southey Green School, we value Art and Design as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. Art and Design provides the children with the opportunities to develop and extend skills and an opportunity to express their individual interests, thought and ideas. Art, craft and design exemplifies some of the highest forms of human creativity. Our high-quality art and design education 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 will 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.
We ensure the teaching sequence of art encompasses developing art skills before producing a final piece. Teachers follow the progression document to ensure their art skills are always moved forwards. Where possible, their art learning is based around the history, geography or science curriculum learning. However, many discrete art and design units are taught to the children to make sure there is a coverage of skills and different opportunities for the children. Some of these units adopt a whole school approach where we can see a clear progression of skills and work together towards the end goal such as selling art work at the Christmas Fayre.
Children learn about different artists and cultures and the skills behind their work. Children also get the opportunity to practise these skills within their sketch books before developing their own final composition.
As stated in our curriculum policy, we aim for all of our children to
