Art
Our Art Vision
By the end of year 6 we want the children of Holy Trinity to have passion for creativity. We want them to be able to channel their creativeness through a range of media to create projects on a large and small scale, applying the skills that they have been taught.
We believe that these skills aide the children with their mental health, ensuring that their brains can fire and make connections across the curriculum: helping them to become well-rounded young people with increased resilience.
By being exposed to this broader curriculum it may light a spark in some to, in the future, become graphic designers, artists, clothing designers or someone who completes art projects as a hobby.

Art Progression and Vocabulary
Implementation
Art is taught throughout all year groups in the school.
EYFS have art as a continuous provision option linked to their Early Learning Goals.
Key Stages 1 and 2 approach art in blocks and build upon their skills each year; reflecting on prior learning before continuing on their art journey.
Year 2 and Key Stage 2 have sketch books to practise their skills and use to show their ideas and final pieces of work. Throughout all of these art opportunities the chidlren are given the skills to then use and create their own inpirational pieces of work.
