ObjectivesThe Objectives are taken from the
National Curriculum online,
During key stage 2 pupils develop their creativity and imagination
through more complex activities. These help to build on their skills and
improve their control of materials, tools and techniques. They increase
their critical awareness of the roles and purposes of art, craft and
design in different times and cultures. They become more confident in
using visual and tactile elements and materials and processes to
communicate what they see, feel and think.
Knowledge, skills and understanding
Exploring and developing ideas
Pupils should be taught to:
a. record from
experience and imagination, to select and record from first-hand
observation and to explore ideas for different purposes.
b. question and make thoughtful observations about starting points and select ideas to use in their works.
c. collect visual and other information (images, materials..) to help them develop their ideas, including a sketchbook.
- Investigating and making art, craft and design
Pupils should be taught to:
- a. investigate and
combine visual and tactile qualities of material and processes and to
match these qualities to the purpose of the work
- b. apply their experience of materials and processes, including drawing, developing their control of tools and techniques
- c. use a variety of
methods and approaches to communicate observation, ideas and feelings,
and to design and make images and artefacts.
Evaluation and developing work
Pupils should be taught to:
- a. compare ideas, methods and approaches in their own and
others' work and say what they feel about them.
- b. adapt their work according to their views and describe how they might develop it further.
Knowledge and understanding
Pupils should be taught about:
- a. visual and
tactile elements, including colour, pattern and texture, line and tone,
shape, form and space, and how these elements can be combined and
organised for different purposes.
- b. materials and processes used in art, craft and design and how these can be
matched to ideas and intentions.
- c. the roles and purposes of artist, craftspeople and designers working in different times and cultures.
Breadth of study
During this key stage, pupils should be taught the knowledge, skills and understanding through:
- a. exploring a range
of starting points for practical work (for example, themselves, their
experiences, images, drama, music, natural and made objects and
environments).
- b. working on their own, and collaborating with others, on projects in two and three dimensions and on different scales.
- c. using a range of
materials and processes, including ICT, (for example, painting,
collage, print making, digital media, textile, sculpture).
- d. investigating
art, craft and design in the locality and in a variety of genres,
stiles and traditions, (for example, in original and reproduction
form, during visits to museums, galleries and sites, on the internet).
