Curriculum overview for art Intent The art curriculum at Oakfield is designed to inspire in our pupils a passion and enthusiasm for creative expression. Through the study of artists and designers, pupils develop the ability to reflect on, analyse and critically evaluate their own work and the work of others. Pupils are given opportunities to develop their skills using a wide range of media and materials. They learn how to draw confidently from memory, imagination and observation and develop the ability to use line, shape, pattern, colour, texture and form to express themselves and communicate their ideas. They are given opportunities to explore, deconstruct and innovate, developing their own creativity and the ability to select and use materials, processes and techniques to good effect. The sequencing of the art curriculum has been carefully planned to allow pupils to build on prior learning and make connections both within art and across other subjects, ensuring that pupils know more and remember more.
