Art

Our Intent, Implementation and Impact statement for Science

Intent

The teaching of art at Horndean aims to motivate and inspire creativity through the developing knowledge of a range of techniques that the children can transfer across other areas of the curriculum. The children draw thoughts and understanding of what they are learning by exploring the work of a range of artists and designers. Throughout their time at Horndean, children build on their knowledge and skills through a variety of domains including drawing, painting, collage, printing and working in 3D form as they progress through the school.

Implementation

Children explore, practise and apply their knowledge through focussed activities as well as in independent ‘learning zones’. Our school has a topic based approach and the art curriculum is designed to complement this.The children’s thoughts and ideas are placed at the centre of how the teaching and learning progresses through a topic.

Impact

We believe that creativity through a range of avenues is important to a child’s development as it promotes expression, creativity and imagination. This is evident in the children’s enthusiasm for the subject. The children feel confident to explore and develop their own knowledge of art independently and enjoy talking about their creations. The children love to see their artwork on display around their school.

Do, Know and Remember Sheet (DKRs)

Our units of work are supported by, ‘Do, Know and Remember’ (DKR) overviews that detail what the children already know, what they will need to know in the new unit of work, key vocabulary, what comes next and how this fits into the world of work to contextualise each individual subject.
