Art
Intent
At Kings Oak Primary, we believe children should be highly excited and motivated to fulfil their creative potential. Our broad art curriculum offers pupils the chance to strive for excellence in their artistic abilities. Each child will have the opportunity to engage, invent, and experiment with a range of materials and media. Through this process, children will develop the skills necessary to express this highest form of human creativity themselves.
We believe it is important that children can understand and question the impact of art on themselves and the world around them in terms of history and culture. This in turn, helps children to have high values of citizenship. We strive for the children to understand that much of the culture and artistic movements around us are only available because of aspirational people who are passionate about expression, creativity and design.
Through our well-planned, structured and progressive curriculum, pupils from Nursery through to Year 6 will develop their artistic understanding and techniques.
This includes:
- Developing their control and use of materials, with creativity.
- Creating sketchbooks to record their observations and their own ideas.
- Improving their mastery of art and design techniques, such as drawing, painting, print and sculpture with a range of materials.
- Learning about great artists, architects and designers in history.
