Intent:

Art and Design gives us a rich picture of the world, from which we are then able to make moral and cultural judgements. This supports us in becoming articulate, confident and opinionated with everything we see in an artistic and visual world. The Arts are important to build a passionate and reflective pupil to have a brave approach when developing skills with media and their techniques, using the physical act of art as a tool for looking, experiencing and learning. Understanding and applying the formal elements of art across all the disciplines: line, shape, form, tone, texture, pattern, colour and composition are vital in underpinning creative work. A commitment to nurture; resilient, ambitious and curious people who will embed creativity in their own futures, careers and everyday life.

Implementation:

Learning is embedded through the development of knowledge and skills over time and through overlapping concepts. Projects are holistically planned to ensure fluidity and content in changing times and the world. Through foundations and experiences with media skills will develop and improve, showing confidence and dexterity. Progression is mapped coherently, ensuring the basis of each topic is underpinned with skill and knowledge. This progression allows for effective differentiation, and feedback and stretch for more able pupils. Extended writing allows pupils to develop their language and vocabulary within the curriculum.  The Saltash Community School Art Department promotes confidence and tenacity through projects, enrichment and any other artistic opportunity to thrive.
