Our Art Intent

At Ramsey Junior School, our engaging Art and Design curriculum uses Cornerstones topics to ensure that there is a progression of skills and  knowledge and that the National Curriculum is delivered in full. This develops creativity, sets challenges, engages and inspires children and equips them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design using their own individual expression. It is important to the development of pupils’ well-being and to appreciate the world around them, so we aim to give all children the confidence to express themselves through a range of chosen mediums. Our curriculum provides children with an opportunity to experience all art forms: drawing, painting, 3D designs and print making, and pupils are encouraged to experiment with a range of different materials and techniques to bring their ideas to life. Opportunities to practise art and design techniques when using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space are embedded across the Art curriculum through the use of individual sketchbooks. We want our children to know how Art & Design has contributed to our culture and understanding of our history and the world. They explore a variety of artists and their styles, which is enhanced with links to a variety of arts organisations. Our children will focus on a variety of key artists and they will begin to understand the development of their particular art forms. The children will have opportunities to take inspiration from these key artists and create their own artworks in their particular styles. We equip them with the skills required to have an understanding of the language of art and design.
