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.

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.

Please view our Art plans for more details.

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.
