INTENT:

At Harrow Gate Primary Academy, we believe that high-quality Art lessons will inspire children to think innovatively and develop creative procedural understanding.

The Art curriculum provides children with opportunities to develop their skills using a range of media and materials. Children learn the skills of drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles, 3D work and digital art and are given the opportunity to explore and evaluate different creative ideas. Children will be introduced to a range of works and develop knowledge of the styles and vocabulary used by famous artists. It is paramount that art work be purposeful; be this as a means of expression or to explore the styles of other artists that inspire our own work. Pupils should be clear what the intended outcomes are and have a means to measure

their own work against this.

In Art, children are expected to be reflective and evaluate their work, thinking about how they can make changes and keep improving. This should be meaningful and continuous throughout the process, with evidence of

age-related verbal and written refection. Children are encouraged

to take risks and experiment and then reflect on why some ideas and techniques are successful or not for a particular project.
