Aims of the Art & Design Curriculum

As artists, we aim for our children to leave Beckstone Primary school with:

  • The ability to use visual language (for example, line, shape, pattern, colour, texture, form) to express emotions, interpret observations and convey insights.
  • The ability to communicate fluently in visual and tactile form.
  • The ability to draw confidently and adventurously from observation, memory and imagination.
  • The ability to explore and invent marks, develop and deconstruct ideas and communicate through purposeful drawing.
  • A sound knowledge and understanding of other artists.
  • The ability to think and act like creative practitioners by using their knowledge and understanding to inform, inspire and interpret ideas, observations and feelings.
  • Independence, initiative and originality which they can use to develop their creativity.
  • The ability to select and use materials, processes and techniques so they can execute their ideas.
