Art

At Whitefield,  the Art objectives from the National Curriculum are taught, focusing very much on developing children skills. Artist work is used frequently to develop our children language, vocabulary and as a stimulus for creative writing .  It is a great contributing factor to the high standards our children achieve.

The content of the Key Stage One Art and Design curriculum includes pupils learning to:

• use a range of materials creatively to design and make products;
• use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination;
• develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space;
• about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.
