Art

Purpose Of Study

At Langold Dyscarr Community School we recognise that art stimulates creativity, innovation and imagination; providing a special way of understanding and responding to the world. It enables our young artists to communicate what they see, think and feel through the use of different mediums and processes.

We wish for all artists to acquire the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own artwork that will positively influence their creative confidence throughout their lives. Informed by an appreciation for and critical analysis of artwork created by great artists that have shaped our history and culture, we aim to give our artists own unique styles a chance to SHINE through opportunities which inspire and challenge them to express their ideas.

 

INTENT

The Art Curriculum at Langold Dyscarr Community School aims to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum and the Statutory Framework For The Early Years Foundation Stage, being broad, balanced, and fully inclusive to every child.

EYFS

  • Pupils embark on a creative journey of art through themes that are defined by their own imagination and experiences. Our youngest artists will be encouraged to safely use, explore and play with a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with formal elements of art to produce their own unique pieces of work, both indoors and outdoors. Artists will see the work of significant artists and discuss their personal opinions of them and begin talk about how art makes them feel.

KS1 / KS2

  • Artists will develop competence in controlling materials and tools, acquiring progressive development of knowledge and skills to become proficient in the making skills of drawing, painting, printing, sculpture, collage and textiles and an increasing awareness and understanding of the visual and tactile elements of art.
  • Artists will produce individual creative pieces, in which they apply making skills, working from imagination, observation and first-hand experience to express their own thoughts and feelings.
  • Artists will take greater creative control over the avenues they wish to take their art by using personal sketchbooks to practice making skills, take risks and build upon their own self-knowledge throughout the making process.
  • Artists will foster an enjoyment and appreciation of a diverse range of visual arts by evaluating and analysing works of great artists and craft makers; gaining knowledge and awareness of the roles and purposes of work created in different times and cultures.
  • Artists will develop perseverance, confidence, resilience and a build positive attitude towards their own and their peers’ artistic abilities through discussions and kind, specific and helpful critique.  

IMPLEMENTATION

How You Teach It - Your Delivery Of The Above

  • To ensure high standards of teaching and learning in art, we implement a curriculum that is progressive and experience-rich throughout the whole school. Art is taught as part of termly curriculum themes, focusing on knowledge and skills stated in the National Curriculum and the Statutory Framework For The Early Years Foundation Stage.
  • Each year group use our KUSP ladders, which set out a progression of the skills and knowledge to be taught, alongside a personalised long- term plans. The facilitation of key concepts aims to conceptualise art curriculum knowledge, which builds throughout children’s experiential creative journey. By showing pupils how and why the key interconnecting concepts are relevant to what they are doing, we aim to move towards deeper learning, understanding and enjoyment of art.
  • Staff deliver a range of teacher-led and creative choice activities to give our children the building blocks to create an individual finial piece at the end of each art project, in which they apply the skills taught in a way that follows their own creative notions and feelings.
  • Early opportunities identified to explore a board verity of different materials and tools freely in order to develop ideas about how to use them both inside and outside the classroom.
  • Cross-curricular opportunities identified to develop motor skills so that pupil can use a range of tools competently, safely and confidently.
  • Cross-curricular opportunities identified to develop a deep understanding and love of art from a wide range of cultures and traditions that will grow throughout their lives.
  • Opportunities identified for pupils to contribute to and be part of community events e.g. participating in the Nottingham BookBench project or the local Inspire Library Portrait Gallery. 
  • Teacher modeling of kind, specific and helpful feedback to support and develop learning. Open dialogue about feelings surrounding feedback. Development of pupil – pupil feedback.
  • Pupils work is celebrated, being display around school and shared with the community via our school Twitter feed, website and Dojo pages.
  • Opportunities identified for staff CPD.

IMPACT

So What? - Your Evaluations Of The above 

  • Our Art Curriculum is well thought out and planned to demonstrate progression. We focus on progression of coherent knowledge and skills and discreet vocabulary progression which form part of the units of work taught. We measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods:
  • Feedback from pupil discussions about their learning.
  • Images and videos of the children’s practical learning shared.
  • Interviewing the pupils about their learning (artist voice).
  • Ongoing assessments take place throughout the year against the KUSP Ladders. Teachers use this information to inform future lessons; ensuring children are supported and challenged appropriately. This data is analysed on a termly basis to inform and address any trends or gaps in attainment.
