At Rushmere Hall, we believe our Art curriculum will engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the skills they need to experiment, explore their own experiences and create their own art forms. The intent of our Art curriculum is to allow all children to develop their creativity through exploring different materials, artists and ways of expressing themselves. Our Art curriculum will enable all children to be confident to experiment in sketchbooks, through larger outcomes and to not be afraid to make mistakes. We believe in the importance of balancing out the rigour of Maths and English and allowing different children to shine. Our Art curriculum ensures a correct progression of art skills in order to enable all children to become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques. As children progress, they will be able to understand and think critically about the historical and cultural context of Art, as well as evaluate and analyse a range of creative works.
​

Children are taught a range of art skills during our art lessons and where possible are based around each year group's topic. We focus on building upon and developing skills already taught, as well as teaching and learning new ones. Children are encouraged to experiment in sketchbooks, expressing their imagination and creativity. Children will engage with practical work through the use of different mediums and will explore different skills, great artists and designers. We are very proud of all our art work across the school which is displayed in our Art Gallery. This shows a clear progression of skills from Nursery to Year 6. Senior leaders regularly check pupil's sketchbooks and visit art lessons to check progression across the school.
