Art

Intent

Implementation

At Kingslea Primary school we aim to harness and develop each child’s creativity through an inspiring and challenging art curriculum.  We aim to provide the children with a wide range of opportunities where children can build on their knowledge and skills year on year.
​
The art curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning.
​The children are given opportunities to explore a wide range of materials, tools and techniques in 2D, 3D and virtual form.
In each key stage, children practise skills and record their ideas. The children plan and draw in sketchbooks, which progress with them through the school.  They develop their proficiency in drawing, painting, sculpture, printing and textiles. They build their art vocabulary year by year based on the elements of line, colour, pattern, form and texture. They apply this language when evaluating and analysing their own creative work and the work of others.
​Alongside this, the children increase their knowledge of great artists, craft-makers and designers. They research and appreciate artists from a variety of historical periods and also from different cultures. Once a year there is an opportunity to focus on an art project in greater depth  when the whole school take part in the 'Big Draw' and use this as a springboard to produce not only their own creative work, but to inspire creativity in other areas of the curriculum.

Impact

​Art and design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a special way of understanding and responding to the world.

 It enables children to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes.
The knowledge and skills the children develop, and the progress they make is evidenced from pupil interviews, observations and work scrutinies carried out over the year.​

The Big Draw

In October each year, Kingslea Primary School holds a ‘Big Draw’ event. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters are invited to spend an enjoyable hour taking part in a range of art activities set up around the school. 
Three sessions are available both during the day and in the evening to enable everyone who wishes to come along.
