Expressive Arts and Design - Children in reception.
Explore, use and refine a variety of artistic effects to express their ideas and feelings.
Return to and build on their previous learning, refining ideas and developing their ability to represent them. (ASSESSMENT)
Create collaboratively, sharing ideas, resources and skills.
The areas of the Statutory Framework for the EYFS are met through both discrete lessons as well as ongoing provision. The children access many different resources such as scissors, paint, crayons, pencils within the different areas. They are able to create pieces of art which develop their creativity and technique as well as fine and gross motor skills. Children in EYFS are taught basic skills including holding equipment correctly and how to draw basic shapes, objects and people. Staff ensure there is a variety of resources available to them and help to develop their imaginations. Activities linked to the whole school topic are used to inspire the children to be creative as well as links to the work of artists throughout the academic year.
(KS1) Years 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;
- Learn 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.
At Driffield Northfield Infant School Key Stage 1 children continue their art journey to inspire and achieve. To develop the skills already learned in Foundation Stage children have access to ongoing provision in year one, however the children complete challenges linked to the topic and lessons taught in other subjects. Children in year one and two are taught about the works of artists and develop pieces of work based on different genres of art, to avoid repetition the staff produce long term plans to show what is being taught and artists they are learning about. There is a wide variety to ensure interest and excitement. Children produce work for their own art folder in year one and sketchbook in year two as well as classroom and whole school displays. Work is linked to the topics and children are able to discuss what they are doing, what medium they are using and as they progress towards the end of year 1 and start year 2, they develop the ability to discuss their art and evaluate their work.
