Art and Design
“Art is not just a subject to learn, but an activity that you can practise with your hands, your eyes, your whole personality.” (Quentin Blake)
Vision Statement
At Broadoak, we believe that art and design stimulates pupil’s creativity, imagination and inventiveness, which are fundamental to the development of every child. Our high-quality art and design curriculum engages, inspires and challenges pupils, while equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As our pupils progress, they should develop a more rigorous understanding of art allowing them to think critically and express response to ideas and experiences. It fires their imagination. Through our teaching of inspiring topics, we support our pupils in understanding how art and design has both reflected and shaped our history alongside its contribution to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Aims and Objectives
At all key stages Art and Design teaching aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Produce creative work, explore their own ideas and record their experiences - We encourage pupils to record their findings, develop their ideas, and show progression in their artistic ability through the use of personal sketch books which accompany them through the school, starting in Year 1.
- Become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques - as the children progress through school, art experiences are built upon so the children can make decisions about their approach to different challenges. We provide experiences which allow them to use a variety of materials such as; pastels, paints, pencils, chalks, collage, printmaking, digital media, textiles and sculpture. In addition, we teach the pupils about: colour, pattern and texture, line and tone, shape, form and space, and how these elements can be combined and organised for different purposes.
- To develop their skills, we teach the pupils about sketching: still life, portraits and landscapes with a specific focus on proportion and perspective. Drawing skills are also used to support many other subjects such as illustrations etc, and are very important aspects of how the children record their knowledge visually, so these skills are valued throughout our curriculum.
- Evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design - Art should enable children to communicate what they see, feel and think. Through explicit teaching of art elements such as colour, shape, line and texture we provide our pupils with the appropriate vocabulary to support their explanations. At Broadoak, we encourage self-evaluation of work and teach our pupils how to be resilient to achieve their goals. From Foundation to Year 6, we encourage pupils to compare ideas, methods and approaches in their own and others’ work and share their opinions. We provide opportunities for children to adapt their work according to their views and describe how they might develop it further.
- Know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms - a key intent of our curriculum is for children to be exposed to a range of artists reflecting modern British society i.e. different genders, ages and sexualities as we aim to positively promote equality and diversity.
- Pupils are encouraged to research, examine and discuss the style and focus of these artists and produce their own creations reproducing specific techniques.
- To further motivate and inspire, we take pupils to visit museums and galleries where they can experience a range of modern and traditional art and develop their observation and evaluation skills.
In order to achieve our aims, we provide:
- High quality teaching and learning which enables all children to succeed and achieve
- An interesting learning environment in which children feel safe and secure
- Opportunities for children to be actively involved and engaged in their own learning, through creative approaches to learning with strong curriculum links to other subjects when appropriate
- Opportunities to promote independence
- Evaluations of children’s progress towards the Early Learning Goals and National Curriculum guidelines which inform planning at all stages
- Effective monitoring of teaching and learning.

Art and Design in Early Years
Art is woven throughout the Foundation Stage curriculum and features within the daily continuous provision the children have access to. The children explore the skills of art through drawing, painting, printing, collage, mixed media and are encouraged to experiment with colour mixing. The children are also encouraged to self-initiate activities and respond to their experiences.
Art and Design in Key Stage One
In Key Stage One, children are given opportunities to develop creative and imaginative ideas, use open ended exploration of a range of materials and techniques and learn about the world of art, craft and design. The children use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their experiences. They learn about a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space. During the project, they are encouraged to offer an opinion on the work of chosen designers and artists linked to their theme and at the end, evaluate their final piece.
Art and Design in Key Stage Two
In Key Stage Two, children are taught higher level skills and given a varied choice of materials and tools so that they can make personal choices, completing tasks with increased confidence and independence. They use sketchbooks for collecting ideas and developing research. It is used as a scrapbook, journal and notebook as well as a book in which observational drawings are made. In KS2, children are taught key skills using a variety of medium and then complete a final piece emulating the style, mood and focus of a specific artist, architect or designer. Their final evaluation enables them to improve their own work whilst comparing to the original criteria for success.
