Art
Subject Definition
Art and Design are activities where we can express our creative imagination.
Intent
Our vision at Southville Primary School is to recognise that Art and Design embodies one of the highest forms of human creativity. Children will experience an arts-rich education from Nursery to Year 6 developing individual creativity, challenges and self-expression. Children will build their confidence, imagination and their own sense of identity.
Children will equip themselves with the knowledge and skills to invent, experiment and create their own works of art. This will be through tactile, visual and sensory experiences in a way of understanding and responding to the world. Children will communicate their thoughts and feelings through texture, form, pattern and colour using different materials and processes. As pupils progress, they will be able to think critically and develop a deeper understanding of art and design through their own work and from understanding the work of artists, craft makers and designers; learning about the impact it has in the present and has had in the past.

Children are taught different techniques throughout the years which are often built upon from previous years. These techniques can be applied to their own creative work. The teachers will direct children to demonstrate a particular learning objective but then allow them time to reflect on their own tastes, interests and preferences having learnt key skills. Exciting ideas do not come from direct teaching; they develop from previous experiences, influences and from their imagination.
