Art

Intent

At Monks Coppenhall Academy and Nursery, we provide pupils with a high-quality Art and Design curriculum, which encourages creativity, in order for all pupils to invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As they progress through our school, children will develop their artistic knowledge and skill through a variety of exciting and ambitious Art projects.

Our Art and Design curriculum provides pupils with opportunities to develop their skills using a range of media and materials. Pupils learn the skills of drawing, painting, printing, collage and sculpture and are given the opportunity to explore and evaluate different creative ideas. Pupils will be introduced to a range of works and develop knowledge of the styles and vocabulary used by famous artists, architects and designers. During Art lessons, children are expected to be reflective and evaluate their work, thinking about how they can make changes and keep improving.
