Our Art curriculum’s intention is to **create opportunities** for children to **experiment** and practice a **range of skills and techniques** to **broaden their knowledge** of Art, **entice curiosity** and **inspire.** Our emphasis is on drawing and painting skills, in response to our pupils' needs. For example: - Encouraging our pupils (many from a highly deprived background) to explore their artistic skills through drawing and painting activities, we create opportunities for them to practice a broad range of skills which could be applied in extended areas of the curriculum, as well as to support well-being. We also hold termly art competitions, to encourage pupils to independently explore their artistic abilities. Our current art completion is called "Light in the Night". Our **whole curriculum** is **comprehensibly planned** and **clearly sequenced** and Art follows this **consistent design**, effectively adapting and developing to **meet the needs of ALL pupils**, including those with Special Educational Needs and/ or Disabilities and those that are disadvantaged. Our Art curriculum is taught by the class teacher, who will first revisit prior learning. We return to **previous learning**, in order for pupils to **retrieve knowledge** from their **long-term memory** and **build on** this, with the introduction of **new knowledge.** This is through observing and experimenting with new skills and techniques, drawing upon previous learning. The pupils will then practise applying this knowledge to create their own art pieces and embed learning. We use key **CONCEPTS** that are **thread** through our SUBJECT curriculum, **from Yr R to Yr 6**, in order to **build on prior learning** and support pupils **making strong links** in their knowledge, from previous learning. ### **Art Topic overview Year 1 -
