Saviour CofE Primary School
Art and Design
Throughout their time at Saviour, children will be taught skills and techniques in the following areas of Art: drawing, painting, sculpture, textile, printing and architecture. The curriculum is designed to allow pupils to build on their prior knowledge. They will be encouraged to use a wide variety of tools and materials to create their masterpieces, whilst learning more about the artists, architects and designers who inspire them.
Children have the opportunity to work with local artists as well as accessing Art thorugh Manchester City Art Gallery through various projects each year.
Please view our Art plans for more details.
Our Art and Design scheme of work has been written by the school and is bespoke to include local artists, Manchester and National Curriculum content. More details of our scheme are available on request from the school office.
Below is the subject overview
Subject Intent
At Saviour, the objectives are taken direct from the National Curriculum and aim to provide the children with a broader knowledge of artists, architects and designers. Throughout their time at Saviour the children will be taught skills and techniques from the following areas of Art: drawing, painting, sculpture, textile, printing and architecture.
We also have a specialist artist, Gill Parish, who works with years 1 to 6 once every half term. This is an excellent opportunity for children to further develop and embed their techniques with creativity and experimentation.
Implementation
During Art and design, children are encouraged to use a wide variety of tools and materials to create their master piece. Within each year group, children will build on their prior knowledge and skills set. Additionally, the children also have the opportunity to look at the work of various artists and compare the differences and similarities, whilst making links to their own work.
