How does your child become a proficient artist?
Across a learning sequence, pupils are taught to analyse an artist and their work, practise a core artistic skill or technique, carry out an observational drawing, develop and refine a final piece of artwork, followed by an evaluation.
Here is an example of what this looks like:
Artist Study
Skills Study
Recording from Observation
Developing a Final Piece
Refining and Evaluating
Collaborative Art Projects
Pupils also engage in whole-school art projects to experience how to work on collaborative projects.
Autumn whole-school art project based on 'The Dot' book where children explored the use of colour, tone and line.
