intent
Trimley St Martin Primary School believes that art is a vital part of children’s education and has a significant and valuable role in the taught curriculum, as well as the enrichment opportunities we offer our pupils.
Our role is to make art creative and inclusive as well as to develop the cultural capital for the children we care for.

implementation
The skills and knowledge that children will develop throughout each art topic are mapped across each year group and throughout the school to ensure progression. The emphasis on knowledge ensures that children understand the context of the artwork, as well as the artists that they are learning about and being inspired by. This enables links to other curriculum areas, including humanities, with children developing a considerable knowledge of individual artists as well as individual works and art movements. A similar focus on skills means that children are given opportunities to express their creative imagination, as well as practise and develop mastery in the key processes of art: drawing, painting, printing, textiles and sculpture.
The school’s high quality art curriculum is supported through the availability of a wide range of resources, which are used to support children’s confidence in the use of different media.

impact
|
School displays reflect the children’s sense of pride in their artwork and this is also demonstrated by creative outcomes across the wider curriculum, as well as the progression of skills across the entire school. The school environment also celebrates children’s achievements in art and demonstrates the subject’s high status in the school, with outcomes, including sculptures, textiles and painting.
