We will do this by: introducing pupils to a wide variety of skills within a range of artistic disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and textiles/collage developing sketchbooks that provide a space for pupils to draw, design, investigate, experiment, evaluate, research, annotate, reflect on and communicate their creative journey providing opportunities for the pupils to study and evaluate great and significant artists, craftspeople, architects and designers across cultures and in history, including contemporary and future contexts delivering planned and differentiated lessons, that allow continuity and progression across year groups and key stages, thus enabling pupils to improve their mastery of art and design techniques using a range of different media providing opportunities for pupils to use ideas from others’ work, life experience or their own imagination to create pieces of work ensuring that children are exposed to and have the opportunity to master language that allows them to express their understanding celebrating Pelham’s artwork through, amongst other things, displays and our annual Arts Award organising visits and trips that inspire pupils and allow them to see original works in galleries, museums and the wider environment providing opportunities for the children to take part in externally organised art competitions continuing to collaborate with and build links within our local artistic community, including Pelham families where appropriate.
