Art & Design
What the knowledge will be:
An artist at Neroche is a pupil who is equipped with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent, create and think critically. Through a range of activities they will develop a rigorous understanding of art and design.
Our art curriculum is designed to enable pupils to progressively acquire the skills and techniques, in order to become proficient drawers, painters, sculptors and crafters.
The skills this curriculum area will develop:
Previous knowledge and skills are built upon through our carefully designed curriculum, using Kapow units of work as their basis, but with teachers adapting units to meet the needs and interests of their class.
Children are encouraged to be creative and individual in their works of art. As artists, the children are inspired and challenged to express their own feelings, ideas and imagination through their works of art.
Why we have chosen to do it this way:
We acknowledge that art needs context and meaning, therefore, we provide our pupils with the opportunity to learn about great artists, designers and craft makers and the ways in which they have shaped history and culture.
Our pupils are given the opportunity to share and celebrate their own work, virtual visit museums and galleries and spend time with local artists and crafters so that their experiences are real and hold meaning.
