Art and Design

Intent

At Brentnall Community Primary, we believe that art is an expressive language that enables us to show the diversity of human creativity. We feel that all pupils should be exposed to a diverse art curriculum to help them be successful in developing their expressive language and helping shape their own sense of identity.

Art is used in many areas of our lives from a doodle on a piece of paper, to classical art in museums. As pupils progress through the curriculum we aim for them to develop a range of skills using diverse materials including paint and coloured pencils, to charcoal. Throughout their learning we help the pupils to develop skills in critiquing art in a respectful way.

Staff use art to both engage pupils and support learning across the curriculum, by looking at art from different times in history, local artists to our area such as L.S. Lowry and modern artwork that uses creative and innovative techniques.

To get better at art, children need the capacity to; be fluent, experiment and be authentic and at Brentnall the intent for our art curriculum is that children leave us with these skills.
