Art
Intent
At Jubilee Wood School, we believe that high-quality Art lessons are essential for all and will inspire children to think innovatively, imaginatively and creatively. We use Kapow Primary’s Art and Design scheme of work which aims to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. This scheme is designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history.
Implementation
We will achieve this by each year group covering at least four art units annually. These units are designed with five strands and skills that run with increasing complexity in a spiral curriculum.
These are:
- Generating ideas
- Using sketchbooks
- Making skills, including formal elements (line, shape, tone, texture, pattern, colour)
- Knowledge of artists
- Evaluating and analysing.
Units in each year group are organised into four core areas:
- Drawing
- Painting and mixed-media
- Sculpture and 3D
- Craft and design
Lessons are practical in nature and encourage experimental and exploratory learning with pupils in Key Stage 2 using sketchbooks to document their ideas. Knowledge organisers for each unit support pupils by providing a highly visual record of the key knowledge and techniques learned, encouraging recall of skills processes, key facts and vocabulary.
Impact
By the end of KS2, we want pupils to have learned, improved and embedded a range of artistic skills. They should have an awareness of a broad range of artists and craftspeople and be able to consider and discuss the artworks they come across. We want our pupils to be confident to explore, experiment and take risks, placing value on the process and journey that they take, not just on the finished product.
The impact of following the Jubilee Wood Art and Design scheme of work is that children will:
- Produce creative work, exploring and recording their ideas and experiences.
- Be proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques.
- Evaluate and analyse creative works using subject-specific language.
- Know about great artists and the historical and cultural development of their art.
- Meet the end of key stage expectations outlined in the National curriculum for Art and design.
- Have opportunities to display their work in high quality displays around the school and in an annual Grand Union Partnership art exhibition.
We measure impact with children receiving ongoing feedback and assessment against the success criteria of each lesson, and at the end of each unit with a low stakes quiz.
