Art Intent, Implementation and Impact
Intent
(Curriculum design, coverage and appropriateness)
- To explore the vast world of art and appreciate it in its many different forms.
- To become artists and have the confidence to explore and partake in different arts and craft skills.
- To understand that art is as much about the journey than the end point.
- To have varied artistic opportunities and experiences that develop cultural capital.
- To understand that art is a powerful tool that can evoke feelings, memories or images.
- To see through the eyes of an artist and form their own opinions about particular pieces of art.
Implementation
(Curriculum teaching, delivery)
The children are taught through a combination of direct teaching, investigation and experimentation. They are provided with first-hand experience, teacher prepared materials, reproductions of art work, educational visits, and technology. The children learn about other artists and cultures through Artist of the Month and whenever possible the requirements of ‘Investigating and Making’ and ‘Knowledge and Understanding’ are brought together.
Subject planning and evaluation is between Year Group teams in each Key Stage. There is a whole school written sequence of learning where knowledge and skills have been divided into Year Groups. This sequencing provides a systematic approach to the teaching and learning of art where the skills and knowledge build up over the years and will be revisited and embedded at certain points. The subject has a co-ordinator.
Planning
Planning is used to: -
- set clear achievable goals;
- ensure work is matched to pupils’ abilities, experience and interests;
- ensure progression, continuity and subject coverage throughout the school;
- develop assessment procedures;
- provide criteria for evaluation for teaching and learning.
The format uses the National Curriculum Programmes of study for Key Stages 1 and 2 and the Lancashire KLIPS.
Planning is the responsibility of teachers in each year group team. The Art Co-ordinator is available to give guidance and help if necessary.
Within classes, pupils are taught by a combination of the following, as appropriate and according to the learning tasks: ability/age groups, peer/friendship groups, or by whole class teaching.
Assessment
Assessment is used to:
- provide diagnostic information about individuals or groups
- plan future teaching and learning
- provide summative information for teachers
- provide information for parents
- contribute to a pupil’s curricular record
Assessment techniques used include:
- teacher assessments of pupil’s performance on task
- teachers’ observation of pupils when working
- teacher /pupil discussion and teacher questioning.
- Quizzes and retrieval questioning.
Further evidence is provided by the pupil’s evaluation of their own achievements, and by artefacts made by the pupils. Teacher assessment is carried on the throughout all Key Stages.
The marking of pupils’ work provides both written and oral feedback. Pupil’s assessment is the responsibility of the class teacher who can call on the curriculum co-ordinator and the assessment co-ordinator for advice.
