Art & Design – curriculum information
Art and design embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity which engages, inspires and challenges pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. By teaching Art and design, we intend to impart pupils with the knowledge, understanding, confidence, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individual artists.
At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of Art and design curriculum has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become confident and competent artists and designers. At Bricknell, we follow a program that has been written by the subject co-ordinator and curriculum leader in collaboration with secondary art specialists from the Constellation Trust. Our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document where objectives for each year group are progressively mapped out to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge the further their education journey into KS3 and life beyond the classroom.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.
