Implementation:

All lessons build on prior learning and teachers support children to learn and remember more through:

• For three terms each year, children received a subject discreet lesson following the long term plan and knowledge progression ensure depth and progress across the school.
• The teaching of skills and knowledge that children will develop throughout each art topic
• The emphasis on knowledge ensuring that children understand the context of the artwork, as well as the artists that they are learning about and being inspired by.
• Opportunities to enable links to other curriculum areas.
• Opportunities to express their creative imagination, as well as practice and develop mastery in the key processes of art: drawing, painting, craft and sculpture.
• Opportunities to reflect and evaluate others’ and their artwork through written and verbal reflections.
• Studying a diverse range of male and female artists.
• Developing their understanding of the visual language of art with effective teaching and considered sequences of lessons and experiences which carefully plan for progression and depth.
• Elaborative questioning to challenge pupils to apply their learning in a range of ways.
• Give them the means and opportunity to evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
• Opportunities for curriculum adaptation and challenge, including those with SEN, throughout a topic or prior to a new topic being taught.
• Every three years we will have an ‘Art theme’ week that gives each pupil the opportunity to explore and create a piece of artwork that will be celebrated and shared with our wider community.
