Art encompass some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high quality art and design curriculum should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Rather than in a weekly session, Art is taught in a weekly block to ensure continuity of skills with materials is maximised. Each class has two blocked weeks a year. Skills can also be taught and developed across the whole curriculum at other times.
