DfE Purpose of study
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. 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.
DfE Key Stage 1
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
- about the work of a range of artists, craft makers, architects and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.
DfE Key Stage 2
Pupils should be taught to develop their techniques including their control and their use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design.
Pupils should be taught:
- to create sketchbooks to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas
- to improve their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing and painting and sculpture with a range of materials
- about great artists, architects and designers in history.
Supporting Your Child with Art
Tips to develop your child's love of art at home
- Create a workspace - select a spot in your home to make art; tables can be covered and protected to allow your child to have a workspace.
- Gather materials - save everything from recycling materials for junk modelling, wrapping paper, ribbons, newspaper and magazines to found natural materials from the garden or from a walk.
- Talk about artwork - share your thoughts and opinions on what you see around you and encourage your child to do the same. Discuss what you like about the illustrations in books that you read together. The more you look the more you see!
What do you see? Take a moment, look again. What do you see now? Has it changed? Why?
-
Describe the: Textures you see in the art work. What colours you see in the artwork. Which area of the artwork stands out to you the most? Why? What does the artwork make you think of? What emotion / mood does it make you feel? Close your eyes and describe the artwork from memory. What do you remember? What adjectives would you use to describe this artwork? If this artwork had sound effects what would they be and why? How was this piece of art created? If this artwork was a piece of music or a song, what would it be? Why? What title would you give this artwork?

Display your child's work - celebrate their creations
