Art and Design
Art & Design Intent:
We believe that creativity is a vital aspect of children’s development and fosters a love of learning and enjoyment of learning. Art and Design builds on the Early Learning Goals of Expressive Arts and Design within the EYFS. Our Art and Design education covers the key skills in Art: Painting, Printing, Collage, Sculpture and Drawing. The children learn about a variety of Artists, often linking to their themes. Art is taught on rotation with Design Technology.
Implementation: Art and Design is taught weekly. Work is evidence in sketchbooks and in display areas within the classroom.

Five Main Skills Areas: Drawing Painting Collage Printing Sculpture |
Teach formal elements of Art: Pattern, Colour Texture Tone Shape line |
Impact: Formative assessment, ongoing feedback throughout a lesson or project, including self-assessment, peer-assessment, and teacher assessment to enable pupils to review and refine their work. Advice, tips and reminders about how to use tools and techniques will also be beneficial. The teacher should watch how children are using the tools and materials in the art lesson and address misconceptions. Through discussions about the key artworks, the teacher will establish the children’s understanding of how the formal elements are arranged to create a composition.
