As a school we teach all children that Art and Design is a creative way to express our feelings, thoughts, imagination and ideas through a range of materials including, colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space. We encourage independent practise as well as teaching new skills, discussion and evaluation of work including that of famous artists.
We aim to ensure that all children…
· 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
Art & Design Curriculum Statement
Our carefully sequenced Progression Grids have been developed by subject leaders at our school. They outline key knowledge, skills and vocabulary the children will develop in each subject in each year from Nursery to Year 2. These plans are subject to change as we continually hone and develop our curriculum to ensure they are the best they can be to meet the needs of our children.
Art & Design Progression Grid
At Creswell C of E Infant & Nursery School, we recognise that our pupils learn best when curriculum subjects are taught consistently well across the school, led by subject leaders who support teachers to develop expertise.
To support staff we have encompassed everything they would need to know on one page. We call these Teaching on a page.
We hope these documents will also support parents/carers understand how we structure our lessons and what our expectations are for each curriculum lesson.
Art & Design - Teaching on a page
We are determined that every child at Creswell C of E Infant and Nursery School will develop the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, and that they will be enthused and able to take ownership of their own learning. For all subjects our subject leaders have developed SEND adaptations, which are strategies for supporting children with Special Education needs and Disabilities within lessons.
