Art Intent
-
To engage, inspire and challenge pupils to explore their creativity and record their artistic experiences
-
To develop the knowledge and skills to become more proficient at drawing, painting, sculpture and other art and design techniques.
-
Using the language of art and design, to analyse and evaluate their own work and that of others.
-
By studying a variety of artists and designers, to develop an understanding of how art and design reflect and shape our history, including our own Cornish history.
