At Smithdown Primary School, we believe art education stimulates creativity and imagination whilst giving the child unique opportunities to develop intellectually, emotionally, physically and socially. Here at Smithdown, we teach art as both an individual subject as well as incorporating it into other curriculum lessons. Below you will find an overview of what your child will be expected to learn in each of the Key Stages.
In Key Stage 1 the children will learn to use a range of different materials creatively to design and make products. They will draw, paint and sculpt materials such as clay to develop techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space. Children will use technology to produce images. They will also learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers. All children will use a sketchbook to record ideas and observations.
In Key Stage 2 the children will learn to improve their mastery of art and design techniques by learning specific drawing, painting and sculpture techniques. They will experience using a wider range of materials. Children will use technology to produce images, patterns and decorative pieces of work. They will record their observations and ideas and use them to review and evaluate improvements. They will also learn about great artists, architects and designers in history.
Progression in art will be assessed through the pupils’ sketch books, which pass with the child to the next year group, displays and photographic evidence.

What a lovely last day filled with Art, snacks, a movie and a little game of Just Dance! Enjoy your half term you fabulous bunch! #smithdownart
We had a lovely end to this half term. We made each individual element of L.S Lowry's VE day painting and they are nearly done for our joint Year 5 display. We hope everyone enjoys half term and stays safe! #smithdownart #smithdowmhist

Continuing with our Art work on L.S. Lowry this afternoon - we have been sketching in his style - looking especially at how he creates dimensions and human figures with a bit of charcoal and graphite experimentation thrown in too! #smithdownart
