Transcription

1 Curriculum Plan 2014/15 Subject: Art and Design 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. Year 7 8 Key stage 3 topic include portrait, Egyptian, birds, gargoyles, music, graphics and animals Pupils should be taught to develop their creativity and ideas, and increase proficiency in their execution. They should develop a critical understanding of artists, architects and designers, expressing reasoned judgments that can inform their own work. Pupils should be taught: to use a range of techniques to record their observations in sketchbooks, journals and other media as a basis for exploring their ideas to use a range of techniques and media, including painting to increase their proficiency in the handling of different materials to analyse and evaluate their own work, and that of others, in order to strengthen the visual impact or applications of their work about the history of art, craft, design and architecture, including periods, styles and major movements from ancient times up to the present day.

2 Key stage 4 topics include still life, portrait, surrealism and all about me Art and Design Fine Art GCSE Students should produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more area(s) including drawing and painting, mixed media, sculpture, land art, installation, printmaking, lens-based and/or light-based media: film, television, animation, video and photography. They should explore relevant images, artifacts and resources relating to a range of Fine Art, from the past and from recent times, including European and non-european examples which should be integral to the investigating and making process. Responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities, which demonstrate the candidates' understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Skills and Techniques Students will be expected to demonstrate skills and techniques in the context of their chosen area(s) of study within Fine Art: making appropriate use of colour, line, tone, texture, shape and form using different approaches to recording images, such as, observation, analysis, expression and imagination showing in their work an understanding of the conventions of representational and abstract/ non-representational imagery and genres investigating different ways of working, as appropriate to their chosen area(s) of study within Fine Art providing evidence of an understanding of spatial qualities, composition, rhythm, scale and structure providing evidence of the use of safe working practices. Knowledge and Understanding Students will show knowledge and understanding of: how ideas, feelings and meanings are conveyed in images, artifacts and products in their chosen area(s) of study within Fine Art a range of art, craft and design processes in two and/or three-dimensions and traditional and new media and technologies how images, artifacts and products relate to their social, historical, vocational and cultural contexts a variety of approaches, methods and intentions of contemporary and historical artists, craftspeople and designers from

3 different cultures and their contribution to continuity and change in society in their chosen areas(s) of study within Fine Art a working vocabulary and knowledge of specialist terms relevant to their chosen area(s) of study within Fine Art Key stage 5 Fine Art- AS and A2 Level Students should produce practical and critical/contextual work in one or more areas including painting, drawing, mixed-media, sculpture, land art, installation, printmaking, film, animation, television, video and photography: lens-based and/or light-based media. Students should be introduced to a variety of experiences exploring a range of fine art media, techniques and processes. They should be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. Candidates should explore relevant images, artifacts and resources relating to art and design from the past and from recent times, including European and non-european examples. This should be integral to the investigating and making process. Their responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities, which demonstrate the candidates' understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Candidates should explore drawing using a variety of methods and media on a variety of scales. Candidates should use sketchbooks/workbooks/ journals to underpin their work where appropriate.
