Art

At Valley Invicta Primary School at Aylesford, the intent of our Art curriculum is to deliver learning which is accessible to all and that will maximise the development of every child’s ability and academic achievement. This should enable them to know more about art and artists, remember more about art and the artists they learn about, and understand how to use and apply this knowledge to impact upon their own art work more.

We want our students to be “skills rich” in art and craft techniques to enable them to explore and develop their own creativity. We want the children to be able to use these skills to interpret their own imagination, their world around them and to express themselves as individuals. The school has identified key intentions that drive our Art curriculum. 

Curriculum Intent, Implementation & Impact

Intent:

To build an Art curriculum which develops learning and results in pupils knowing more, remembering more and understanding how the knowledge and skills can be applied in their own art work.
To design a curriculum with appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding in exploring and investigating, creating and evaluating artwork as set out in the National Curriculum so that children can reach and exceed their potential at Valley Invicta Primary School at Aylesford and beyond. 

To build an Art curriculum that incorporates the understanding of Enterprise and gives pupils a clear purpose for their artwork.
To design, and resource, a self-sufficient art curriculum which enables pupils to create art work with a real purpose in terms of displaying and sharing the work they create, investing any funds raised through the Enterprise events within the art curriculum to enhance the resources available for pupils to use in the future. 

 

Implementation:

·  Clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum.
Teaching and Learning should show progression across all key stages within the strands of Art. 

·  Knowledge Organisers
Children have access to key knowledge, language and meanings in order to understand and readily apply to their work in Art and across the wider curriculum. 

·  Educational Visits and visitors into school
Where applicable links to art will be made to develop the children’s learning experiences. 

·  Clear and comprehensive scheme of work in line with the National Curriculum.
Teaching and Learning should plan for a final piece of artwork to be displayed and shared at end-of-term gallery events. 

·  Children will develop an understanding of Enterprise.

Children will become more aware of enterprise and have a real purpose for the artwork they create. 

·  British Values and PSHE
Children will learn and revisit the importance of our world and how it should be treated. 

 

Impact:

·  More children will achieve age related expectations in Art at the end of their cohort year. 

·  Children will retain knowledge about their focus artists for each unit of work, remember this knowledge and understand how to use and apply this in their own art work. 

·  Children will understand what being an ‘artist’ means. 

·  More children will achieve age related expectations in Art at the end of their cohort year. 

·  Children will retain knowledge about their focus artists for each unit of work. 

·  Children will understand what being an ‘artist’ means. 

• Children will have a greater understanding of the protected characteristics and how this is understood in the context of Art 

·  The art curriculum will be financially self-sufficient and the range and quality of art resources will lead to improvements in the quality of the artwork the pupils are able to produce.
