Our art curriculum will develop learners’ critical abilities and understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through studying a diverse range of male and female artists.

Learners will develop their understanding of the visual language of art and through our carefully considered sequences of lessons and experiences they will start to understand the visual elements of art and design (line, tone, texture, colour, pattern, shape, 3D form). Learners will be supported by a curriculum which will enable children to grow and become proficient in the accumulation of skills. They will have the vocabulary to be able to discuss and appreciate the study of significant art pieces and will learn about the history of art and its significance in our global society.

In addition to our Curriculum Unleashed challenges and Olympus Pledge, as part of our cultivated curriculum we celebrate an Artist of the Term linked to our Core Values and Gem Powers of the term. By exposing our pupils to a range of artistic movements and styles, we hope to inspire our pupils so that they leave our school being able to talk about inspirational artists and their work.
