ART AND DESIGN

Art & Design
Statement of Intent
At Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, we recognise that Art and Design embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity and is an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. We have designed a curriculum for Art & Design with the intent that as pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a rigorous understanding of Art and Design that stimulates creativity, risk-taking, problem solving and imagination.
Our curriculum provides opportunities to develop and extend skills. It engages, inspires, and challenges pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment and create their own works of art, craft and design. It helps in their understanding and response to the world, whilst providing an opportunity to express their individual interests, thoughts, and ideas. It will enable the children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel and think, through colour, texture, form, pattern using different materials and processes. 

The National Curriculum has set out the following subject content:
Key Stage 1
Pupils should be taught: 
  • to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products. 
  • to use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination. 
  • to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space 
  • about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work. 
Key stage 2 
Pupils should be taught to develop their techniques, including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design. 
Pupils should be taught: 
  • to create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas. 
  • to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials [for example, pencil, charcoal, paint, clay] 
  • about great artists, architects and designers in history.

Implementation
The Trust have developed a progressive Art curriculum that maps skills and knowledge across each year group, building upon previous learning at each stage. Trust is keen to encourage a systematic approach to the development of artistic skills, which means that children are given opportunities to express their creative imagination, as well as practise and develop mastery in the key processes of art, drawing, painting, printing textiles and sculpture.
Design curriculum, ensuring that a high-quality provision is in place. 

Student's individual needs and interests are taken into account when planning learning experiences. All students are supported to achieve within an inclusive environment. ​
Children explore the work of a diverse range of artists, craft makers, designers and architects, developing a considerable bank of knowledge of the individuals/groups they are studying, as well as their works and art movements.
The curriculum explores how Art and Design both reflect and shape history, contribute to different cultures and times and how it enriches our lives.

The Trust's Art & Design curriculum is supported through a range of quality resources, which are used to support children’s confidence in the use of different media. The Trust’s unique staff team includes specialised skilled staff to support the implementation of the Art & 

Impact
  • The structure of the Art curriculum ensures that children can develop their own knowledge and understanding of the work of artists, crafts people and designers from a range of times and cultures and apply this knowledge to their own work.
  • The consistent use of sketchbooks from Year 1, means that children can review, modify and develop their initial ideas to achieve high quality outcomes.
  • Children learn to understand and apply the key principles of art, line, tone, texture, shape, form, space, patter, colour, contrast, composition, proportion and perspective.
  • The opportunity for children to refine and develop their techniques over time is support by effective lessons sequencing and progression between year groups. This also supports children in achieving age related expectations at the end of their cohort.
  • School displays opportunities reflect the children’s sense of pride in their artwork, and this is also demonstrated by creative outcomes across the wider curriculum.
  • The school environment also celebrate also celebrates children’s achievements in art and demonstrates the subject’s high status in school, with outcomes, including opportunities to enhance the school environment, as well as the indoor environment.
  • The art & design curriculum contributes to children, personal development in creativity, independence, judgement and self-reflection.
