Art is taught to all year groups weekly through a topic based approach. All children have the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge and appreciation of Art through our progressive curriculum.
Our Art and Design curriculum aims to encourage our children to develop an interest, enthusiasm and love of Art and Design. with the underpinning goal of developing a heightened sense of wellbeing as a result. Children at our school will be encouraged to see Art and Design all around them in their everyday experiences and see how it enhances their lives.
The school believes that Art and Design is a vital part of children’s education, with a significant and valuable role in the taught curriculum and the enrichment opportunities we offer our pupils. The Art and Design curriculum will develop children’s critical abilities, as well as an understanding of their own and others’ cultural heritages through the study of a diverse range of artists.
Children will develop their understanding of the visual language of art with effective teaching and considered sequences of lessons and experiences. Understanding of the visual elements of art and design (line, tone, texture, colour, pattern, shape, 3D form) will be developed by providing a curriculum which will enable children to reach their full potential.
Children will leave Hodnet Primary School with a love of Art and Design from different genres, cultures, and time periods and with a variety of different experiences and skills.
