At Ashdon Primary School art is fully inclusive to every child.
Our aims are to fulfill the requirements of the National Curriculum for art and design; provide a broad and balanced curriculum; ensure the progressive development of knowledge and skills; enable pupils to observe and record from first-hand experience as well as from imagination; develop the pupils' competence in controlling materials and tools; acquire knowledge and become proficient in various art and design techniques and processes; begin to develop an awareness of the visual and tactile elements including colour, pattern, texture, line, tone, shape, form and space; foster enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts; and develop a knowledge of significant artists, craftspeople and designers design in all subjects.
To ensure high standards of teaching and learning in art and design, we implement a curriculum that is progressive throughout the whole school. Art and design is taught as part of a half-termly or termly topic focusing on knowledge and skills stated in the National Curriculum. At Ashdon Primary School we ensure that art and design is given the same importance as the core subjects, as we feel this is important in enabling all pupils to gain ‘real-life’experiences. The art and design curriculum at Ashdon Primary School is based upon the Primary National Curriculum in England, which provides a broad framework and outlines the knowledge and skills and taught in each Key Stage.
Within art and design, we strive to create a supportive and collaborative ethos for learning by providing in each cohort the opportunity to explore the work of an artist. Emphasis is placed on investigative learning opportunities to help pupils gain a coherent knowledge of understanding of broad and varied topics of work covered throughout the school.
