Art Intent: How we plan for this subject...
At Cranham Primary it is our intent to plan and deliver a wide breadth of art and design experiences through out their time at our school. Teachers are ambitious in their approach, ensuring that all learners, including those who are disadvantaged, receive the same offer of experiences. Our curriculum is designed to build a sound knowledge of a range of art skills that is carefully sequenced and progressive across the key stages. From Early Years through to Year 6, our units follow a cyclical pattern so that children are able to revisit themes and make connections with their previous learning; this allows them to deepen their understanding as they build on prior knowledge. They will study a carefully selected range of artists, craft workers, designers and architects, both contemporary and of historical note, building a sound knowledge and understanding of differing cultures and styles of art. Our teaching builds upon the foundations laid in the EYFS, where children have been encouraged to develop both physical application of art materials and tools, to expressing themselves creatively. Each unit of work is planned to make meaningful links to the terms over-arching theme, whilst ensuring that the subject in its own right is taught effectively, building upon previous phases. Pupils work practically in sessions and take time to evaluate and study the work of others, making decisions on how the work of others may impact their own creative processes. Effort is made to ensure access to all learners, including those with SEND can access the full art and design curriculum.Art & Design in the Early Years Foundation Stage
