Art curriculum

Intent for TVED Art

Art allows pupils to become confident independent artists who are creative and have the ability to express themselves using a wide range of materials and media. Through exposure to diverse local, national and international cultural heritage, pupils will foster a love of art and understand how art contributes to the creativity and wealth of our nation and wider world. The curriculum is artist driven and structured to ensure drawing is the strand that underpins and is woven through the entire art curriculum. For reference, take a look at the Department for Education art curriculum guidance here.

Outcomes

By the end of our KS1 art curriculum most children will be able to:

• to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products 
• to use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination 
• to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space 
• about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.

By the end of our KS2 art curriculum most children will be able to:

• to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas 
• to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay] about great artists, architects and designers in history.
