Art

At Trimley St Mary, art is taught as an immersive subject within the curriculum to augment the children’s understanding, enjoyment and pleasure in learning a new topic.  Children have an opportunity to develop their creative imagination, self-expression and build upon their technical skills by using a wide variety of media such as watercolour, clay, printmaking, textiles and digital media.

Children enhance their knowledge of important artists throughout history and the present day, such as Matisse, Audrey Flack, Van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe and Chris Ofili by emulating their painting, drawing or sculpting techniques and learning how to evaluate their work using art vocabulary.  Children also develop an understanding and appreciation of different cultural styles such as Japanese, Aboriginal and Indian art.

Children strengthen their art techniques by building upon knowledge and skills from previous years, techniques such as: building visual information in a sketchbook, sketching lightly and observing intently to record accurately, creating and using tints and shades to enhance mood and using directional shading to create form.

As Artists we will:-
• Use visual language skillfully and convincingly (for example, line, shape, pattern, colour, texture, form) to express emotions, interpret observations, convey insights and accentuate our individuality.
• Communicate fluently in visual and tactile form.
• Draw confidently and adventurously from observation, memory and imagination.
• Explore and invent marks, develop and deconstruct ideas and communicate perceptively and powerfully through purposeful drawing in 2D, 3D or digital media.
• Develop an impressive knowledge and understanding of other artists, craft makers and designers.
• Think and act like creative practitioners by using our knowledge and understanding to inform, inspire and interpret ideas, observations and feelings.
• Use independence, initiative and originality to develop our creativity.
• Select and use materials, processes and techniques skillfully and inventively to realise intentions and capitalise on the unexpected.
• Reflect on, analyse and critically evaluate our own work and that of others.
• Develop a passion for and a commitment to the subject.
