Art and Design Technology
At Loughborough pupils learn about culture and community through a study of the creative arts. Each art form has its own unique skills, concepts and the capacity to inspire and enrich lives. The arts provide challenges for learners at all levels. Art education connects pupils with their own culture as well as with the wider world.
Through high quality Design and Technology lessons pupils will develop their skills and knowledge of design, pupils’ creativity is nurtured and they are encouraged to think about important issues. Pupils are provided with opportunities to use creativity and imagination to design and create products that solve real and relevant problems, considering their own and others’ needs.
Through Art all our pupils are given opportunities to explore their ideas by experimenting, inventing and creating their own varied works of art using a range of materials. They will learn how to draw, paint, sculpt and explore other art, craft and design techniques
Art instruction helps pupils with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.
Through Art and Design Technology pupils will:
- produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
- become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
- evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design
- know about great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
Art & Design Technology Intent
|
At Loughborough Primary School, our goal is to nurture and inspire our children to take their place in the world as fulfilled global citizens. Through art children are given visual, tangible and sensory experiences to support their understanding and response to their own culture and to the wider world. We aim provide all children with the opportunity to produce creative, imaginative work that they can be proud of. Children will be given a variety of opportunities to explore the many artistic ways of expression. They will be introduced to famous artists, crafts and designers, and explore and analyse art created by them. They will have the opportunity to explore and develop their own ideas and make links to their experiences. Children will be given ample opportunity to develop their self-expression, ask questions and demonstrate their skills. They will become confident and adept in a variety of techniques including drawing, painting, sculpting, as well as other selected craft skills e.g. printing, weaving and collage. Our lessons are a continual progression of skills and knowledge throughout the year groups, so as to continue to pique the children’s interest and strive for them to reach new goals. |
Art & Design Technology Implementation
|
Children will become involved in shaping their environments through art activities. They will develop an understanding of how art contributes to our history, culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. They will make informed judgments and aesthetic and practical decisions and explore meanings and ideas through the work of artists and designers.
Children will practice and share their learning and skills with others, giving and receiving feedback to improve. Each year group will build on previous skills and knowledge acquired through a variety of art projects based on new themes. Our lessons are designed to increase their awareness of different kinds of arts, designs and crafts, with a continued endeavor to develop their curiosity, interest, techniques, control, and their use of materials, with creativity and experimentation. The children will be encouraged to start collecting and developing ideas using sketchbooks. They will continue to build up resilience, making mistakes and suggesting improvements. Our children will be given opportunity to collaborate on projects within the school and beyond the school setting. |
