Art in the curriculum
Children have the opportunity to:
- draw imaginatively and from observation
- paint with watercolours, poster paint and acrylics
- print with their hands, stamps, objects and try block and mono print
A wide range of resources and materials are used:
- oil and soft pastels are used, looking at shading and tones
- collage using printed materials, textiles and their own pattern work
- graphic design in the form of posters for projects, plays and book covers
- sculpture takes a variety of forms, especially during Arts Week where scale is often increased and group collaborative projects are realised. Pottery, papier mache, work with wood and textiles all take on 3D forms. Children work within their IT framework to create a variety of digital and multi-media art works
- Create electronic books – graphics, layout and pattern
- Create stop-frame films linked to their History of the Romans
- Make short films using Movie Maker on iPads
- Design websites and make posters for online safety
- Design and create repeat patterns
