Art Intent

At Gatcombe Park Primary School, we aim to develop children as artists who demonstrate these characteristics:

Recognise that art covers a range of skills and includes working with a range of mediums
Explore, experiment and take risks with ideas to build confidence, recognizing that trial and improvement are key skills for all areas of art
Know about and take influence from great artists, craft makers and designers, and understand the historical and cultural development of their art forms.
Produce a range of creative work from observation and imagination, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences in personal art journals
Understand and use artistic vocabulary (for example, line, shape, pattern, colour, texture, form)
Critique their own work, as well as that of their peers, reflecting and analysing to recognise effective ideas and skills
Critique the work of established artists, expressing likes and dislikes while still recognizing skills and talent
