Art

The Art Curriculum at Broughton Fields Primary School allows children to explore their inner artist in a creative, innovative and challenging way. We aim to inspire our children through high quality teaching enabling all children to achieve their very best. The curriculum has a clear progression of skills across drawing, painting (and printing), sculpture and collage. The skills taught are built upon as the children progress through the school. The children explore their ideas creatively and record their experiences using sketchbooks.

Sketchbooks are a place where children make personal, expressive records and are free to explore visual language in a way that interests them. We ensure that adults do not write in children’s books to allow a sense of ownership and give the children a safe space to work where they won’t be criticised.

Art is a means of communication and therefore we encourage the children to express, explore and celebrate ideas, attitudes and values within their lessons in a safe environment fostering their originality and creativity. We are all expected to work hard, show resilience and learn from our mistakes and art is a subject that truly develops this ability.

The skills the children will be equipped with will allow them to experiment, invent and create their own works of art with their own artistic flair and style. The knowledge the children will have gained will give them greater understanding of great, influential artists, the historical and cultural backgrounds of different art forms and know how art has shaped the history and wealth of our nation.
