Art 
“Art
develops spiritual values and contributes a wider understanding to the
experience of life, which helps to build a balanced personality.”
Bridget Riley, Painter

KEY STAGE 2
Pupils are exposed to more complex situations
and activities. They improve upon their control of materials, tools
and techniques. They increase their awareness of the role and purposes
of art in different times and cultures. They become more confident in
using visual and tactile elements to communicate what they see, feel
and think.
KEY STAGE 3
Pupils develop their creativity and imagination
through more sustained activities. These help them to build on and improve
their practical and critical skills and to extend their knowledge and
experience of materials, processes and practices. They engage confidently
with art, craft and design in the contemporary world and from different
times and cultures. They become more independent in using the visual
language to communicate their own ideas, feelings and meanings.
