A Keinton Artist Can...

Curriculum Intent:

Due to the mixed and ever-changing nature of our class structure, the creation of a continuous and settled curriculum is truly a challenge.  Due to this, we have decided to create an Art Curriculum that develops skills over time, focusing on drawing, painting, sculpture and other media, irrespective of which year group the children are in.  The aims of our Art curricula are set out in our curriculum statements, which state both the National Curriculum objectives, alongside our own intentions for both the children’s knowledge and skills. 

The three overarching concepts for art understanding and skill taught at Keinton Mandeville Primary are:

• Creativity,
• Composition
• and Appreciation. 

They will investigate colour, shape and form, starting with abstract art, representing known forms, before developing skills in position and shape and acknowledging the importance of space between elements of sculpture.  They will investigate the work of notable sculptors, such as Richard Shilling, Henri Matisse, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo.
