All children are artists\u201d \u2013\u00a0Pablo Picasso<\/em><\/h3>

At Wood Ley Community Primary School wherever possible exploring the arts is built into all areas of the curriculum. Art, Craft and Design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. Our Art curriculum aims to engage, inspire and challenge pupils to equip them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of Art, Craft and Design.<\/p>

Curriculum Intent<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

\u00a0Art Progression Pathway<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>

At Wood Ley Community Primary School, we believe that all pupils can achieve in Art. Our Art curriculum provides children with opportunities to develop their skills using a range of media and materials.\u00a0 Children learn the skills of drawing, painting, printing, collage, textiles, 3D work and digital art, as well as being given the opportunity to explore and evaluate different creative ideas. We closely link our Art work to other areas of the curriculum to provide purpose and links to areas of learning.\u00a0<\/p>

At Wood Ley children are introduced to a range of works and develop knowledge of the vocabulary and styles used by famous artists which they then use as a reference point for their own work. We encourage the children to \u2018speak like an artist\u2019 when discussing their art and the work of others. Emphasis is placed on developing art skills which are then applied to cross-curricular topics, allowing children to use their art skills to reflect on and explore topics in greater depth. Art work is purposeful both as a means of expression or to explore the styles of other artists to inspire their own work. Children are expected to be reflective and evaluate their work against the Intended learning outcomes and to think about how they can develop their mastery of Art techniques and make changes to their work.<\/p>

Curriculum Implementation<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

At Wood Ley we provide a rich creative environment. Learning objectives build on prior learning, which is demonstrated in our connected learning pathways, and focus on the six fundamental elements of Art and Design.<\/p>

Drawing<\/p>

Painting<\/p>

Printing<\/p>

Collage\/textiles<\/p>

Sculpture<\/p>

Digital media.<\/p>

Children explore colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space when practising these elements, developing their mastery of techniques and creativity.<\/p>

Art lessons are hands on and based on art objectives specific to each year group and taught in a context in which learning is linked closely to current topics.\u00a0 Children of all abilities have opportunities to develop their skills and knowledge and through planned progression are offered increasing challenge as they move up through the school.<\/p>

Curriculum Impact<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Our Art Curriculum is a high standard, well thought out and is planned to demonstrate progression. As teachers, there is an emphasis placed on individuality and children are given the freedom to explore art using their imagination building on the key art skills that they learn in lessons.<\/p>

‘This world is but a canvas to our imagination.<\/em><\/strong> \u201c<\/strong> Henry David Thoreau<\/strong><\/p>

We value the use of sketch books and all children have their own that follows them throughout their time at Wood Ley. In addition, each class has a class sketchbook that the children take turns to take home. Pupil perception interviews are carried out in which pupils discuss the curriculum and their learning as well as the opportunity to show and talk about work that they are proud of.\u00a0 To quote some of our amazing Wood Ley artists:<\/p>

\u201cI like Art, my grandad is an Artist, he does shading to make it look 3D. I would like to be an Artist like him. I quite like it.\u201d Teddy.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cI do like it. I want to be an Art person when I grow up. Artists have themes. My cousin is good at Art.\u00a0 You can do Art in the outside in the forest \u2013 it was fun.\u00a0 Our teachers say our Art work is amazing.\u201d Elsie.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cArt makes me happy. It makes me calm and it helps me to concentrate on my other work too.\u201d Isaac<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s spectacular.\u201d Connor.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cPut your mind to it and you can do amazing things. Art is cool.\u201d Lachlan.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>\u201cIt\u2019s about special feelings, your imagination. It\u2019s not just about painting, drawing and crafting, it\u2019s literally everything.\u201d Daisy.<\/em><\/p>

\u00a0<\/em>As a school we enjoy celebrating the Art that is created in sketchbooks, through displays, assemblies and sharing work with pupils and parents.\u00a0<\/p>

Celebrating Art and The Arts at Wood Ley<\/h3>

We have enjoyed taking part in the Stowmarket Jubilant Festival, which showcases the different arts.\u00a0 We were very proud of our children who feature in this video which celebrates the event: Jubilant! Festival 2023 (youtube.com)<\/a><\/p>
