Art Curriculum Intent

A high-quality art, craft and design education should engage, inspire, and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity, and wealth of our nations.

Core themes: Line, colour, pattern, tone, texture, form, shape, space.
