Art and Design

                 “Every child is an artist.” Pablo Picasso          

Art and Design Subject Leader is Mrs O'Brien

 

Our curriculum intent for Art & Design is that every child will: 

 

  • be inspired and enthused by the creative element of art & design
  • learn a range of skills to convey their creative ideas through various media
  • understand and know about a range of artist, craft and designers that can inspire them
  • enjoy learning about a range of art and appreciate it’s place in our world 

 

Implementation of the Art & Design Curriculum at Holy Trinity

 

We aim to develop meaningful links across other curriculum subjects for pupils to be able to apply and practice their art & design skills.

At Holy Trinity we have just introduced the Kapow scheme of work for art & design that we adapt to meet the needs of our pupils and fit in with our curriculum design. Following this scheme ensures that all National Curriculum objectives are delivered in every unit in every year giving the children a plethora of opportunities to learn, practise and refine their skills.

 

The Impact of the Art & Design Curriculum at Holy Trinity

 

Holy Trinity pupils have experience of developing their art and design skills during their time with us. Through being exposed to and studying a range of artists, crafters and designers, they have an understanding of a variety of art works. Offering pupils the opportunities to express themselves through art and design gives them the chance to express and develop their creative thinking. It can also serve as a very mindful and contemplative activity for children.

 

How does Art and Design fit into our School Vision?

Art & Design links/actions:

  • Engage and inspire all pupils and give them regular opportunities to take part in skills-based art lessons
  • Give pupils a sound knowledge of great artists, craft makers, architects, illustrators and designers
  • Provide pupils with the skills that they need so that they are confident to experiment and create their own art, craft and design work
  • Provide CPD for teaching skills in Art & Design based on Kapow SOW
  • Liaise with cluster schools to look at Art & Design provision and how it is delivered
  • Ensure pupils have access to high quality resources and materials
  • Look into ways of funding further Art equipment using local schools and companies
  • Ensure pupils have access to a secure, safe internet that allows them to access information they need to support their learning but in a very controlled, safe environment
  • Be aware of new artists and media that would inspire pupils
  • Research apps to install to support learning
  •  Continue our link with the Arts Society and have work of our pupils displayed at Sunningdale train station
  • Artwork to be displayed in the church at various times throughout the year
  • Forge links with other Art & Design subject leaders across the local cluster
