We are artists and designers

We will provide high quality resources that allow children to explore and remember a range of artists and techniques to inspire, invent and create our own works of Art and Design. Children will think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding to contribute to the culture and creativity of our school.

We teach the full National Curriculum for art and DT. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a7ba810ed915d4147621ca0/PRIMARY_national_curriculum_-_Art_and_design.pdf 

We plan activities linked to the themes in CUSP 

CUSP Art and Design

In addition to the core knowledge required to be successful within each discipline, the curriculum outlines key aspects of artistic development in the Working Artistically section.

 

Teaching and learning 

 

Vocabulary is the golden thread that sits at the heart of the CUSP Curriculum, mapped out from Year 1 to Year 6 within and across subjects.
