Art and Design Technology                                                        Back

Our vision for art and DT is for…

• Children to be immersed and have experience of a wide range of artists, styles and designers.
• Children to respond to art and be able to make informed comments using artistic vocabulary to describe and evaluate what they see and experience.
• Children to develop over their time with us, progressively more sophisticated skills in cooking, designing, making, drawing, painting, printing and sculpting.

Across the years groups we have planned a range of engaging topics in both art and DT to ensure good progression and also allow a broad range of skills to be taught and rehearsed. 

Please click on the topic to see the Knowledge Organiser.  This will give you information about the knowledge and skills that the children will be learning.  It will also give you information on the vocabulary taught and how this unit links with prior learning.
