\t\u201cEvery child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.\u201d \t<\/p>\n – Pablo Picasso, artist<\/p>\n\t \tArt, craft and design embody some of the highest and most ancient forms of human creativity. At Sherborne we believe that a high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. They should take pleasure in being creative and using the imagination and freedom to express themselves that every child possesses. They should be encouraged to retain this inner artist throughout their lives.<\/p>\nWe aim for all our children to make substantial progress in Art and Design through ensuring that teaching: <\/strong><\/p>\n Teaching and learning takes place through high quality weekly Art & Design lessons, delivered by a class teacher and supported by a classroom assistant. The time given to Art & Design may vary depending on the project, but it is highly valued and enough time is always provided to achieve high-quality outcomes and pieces of work that all children can be proud of.<\/p>\nChildren are taught to: Each class will feature pupils\u2019 artwork on display in each term and opportunities for collaborative art are sought each term also.<\/p>\n The impact of teaching and learning Art & Design is shown through confident artists who enjoy all aspects of Art & Design and who demonstrate excellence in their attitudes to practising their skills and developing their creativity.<\/p>\n We recognise and assess how successfully the school’s aims are met through lesson monitoring carried out by class teachers and teaching assistants. This is done through observations, feedback and discussions with the child, aswell as through final piece assessment.<\/p>\nThe Art & Design subject leader will monitor standards through lesson observations, pupil conferences, and planning audits. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Creative Artists What We Intend To Do \u201cEvery child is an artist.
