St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School Hindley
ART
Art Intent:
St. Benedict’s Catholic Primary School believes that every child should have the right to a curriculum that promotes excellence; supporting pupils in achieving to the very best of their individual abilities. We believe that teaching and learning in art is important because it stimulates creativity, imagination and inventiveness. The purpose of art education is to give pupils the skills, concepts and knowledge necessary for them to express responses to ideas and experiences in a visual or tactile form. It fires their imagination and is a fundamental means of personal expression.
Through the delivery of our Art curriculum, we intend to:
- Communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes.
- Encourage children to produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences.
- Children become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques.
- Children become involved in shaping their environments through art and design activities.
- Children learn to make informed judgements and aesthetic and practical decisions. They analyse and evaluate creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
- Children explore ideas and meanings through the work of artists and designers.
Wherever appropriate it is linked to other areas of the curriculum, gives children the opportunities to develop specific art skills, and reinforces skills already established.
Please see our Art Policy below for more information on the implementation and impact of the teaching and learning of Art at St Benedict's.
