Our Art and Design curriculum is based on units of work from the Kapow Scheme.  This provides a creative platform from which our pupils explore, create and develop their skills across a wide range of genres and media.

How are knowledge and skills developed?

• Generating ideas and using sketchbooks: taking inspiration from a range of artists.
• Making: developing drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media, craft techniques and sculpture skills.
• Formal elements: exploring colour, form, line, pattern, shape, texture and tone.
• Knowledge of artists: discovering artists' work and techniques.
• Evaluation: critiquing their own work and that of others.

Please see the documents block for a hand parent guide to the Kapow Art and Design curriculum.

We are delighted to work in partnership with "Cotswold Arts Through Schools".  Through this partnership our pupils have accessed some amazing opportunities such as displaying clay sculptures at "Kingham Sculpture", taking part in water colour, ink and acrylic paint workshops, and most recently learning how to weave willow to create flower sculptures.  You can see some of our work in the photo slide show below.
