Art and Design

Statement of Intent

As stated in the National Curriculum:

‘Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality Art and Design education 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 Art and Design, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.’

Intent

At Lodge Farm through the subject of Art and Design we aim for every child to develop their confidence when producing creative work, generating their ideas, whilst learning about famous artists, architects, designers and a variety of different cultures. Expressing themselves through Art and Design, whilst supporting and nurturing their academic, personal and emotional well-being, and providing a vast range of experiences to broaden their expectations of their own capabilities through: drawing, painting, sculpture and other areas of Art and Design. This subject allows children to succeed even when they may be faced with barriers within their written and verbal communication. Here at Lodge Farm, we strive to provide every single child to feel a sense of achievement and experience success during their time at our school. Our children are unique individuals with their own interests and dreams. As a school community, we will support each child to make the most of every opportunity that we offer.
