We follow the CUSP (Curriculum Unity Schools Partnership) Art curriculum. This curriculum covers a broad range of artistic disciplines including drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, 3D and collage. Pupils will revisit key disciplines throughout their Primary journey at increasing degrees of challenge and complexity.

The curriculum also covers key aspects of artistic development, including:

• Shape – creating flat (2D) areas surrounded by an outline or edge
• Line – how lines are used to show movement and mood
• Colour – how colours are used to convey atmosphere and mood
• Value – the intensity of colours
• Form – creating sculptures and 3D shapes
• Texture – the look and feel of a surface
• Space – making a flat image look like it has form
