Early Years Art

The children’s’ learning and development is planned around the EYFS Learning Goals. Art in the early years promotes interest, confidence and expression which will feed into writing and numeracy for core subjects as the children progress. Motor skills are refined and practised. Use of colour stimulates and provides an enjoyable and welcoming learning environment when art is displayed.

Key Stage 1 Art (Year 1 and 2)

Pupils should be taught:  

to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products.

to use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination

to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space

about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.
