Art at The Batt
Exploration and Innovation - Children use and experiment with a wide range of materials and resources to make marks, sculpt, draw and paint their own original pieces. They will develop and explore techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space. There are no right or wrong answers, but children will evaluate and reflect and review and revisit their ideas in their sketch books.
Co-operation and communication - Children work together in pairs or groups for some units of work where they will develop skills in supporting and encouraging each other and discussing their ideas and techniques. They must learn how to share and take turns with resources. In looking at work of a range of artists, architects and designers children will discuss, listen to and formulate their own thoughts and opinions about works of art.
At the Batt we use a long term plan which combines Art and Design Technology from Kapow Primary. This means children study either Art or DT every half term and ensures that children cover requirements of the national curriculum and build their subject skills and knowledge over time.
