AimsDuring key stage 2 pupils:
- develop their creativity and imagination through more complex activities.
- These help to build on their skills and improve their control of materials, tools and techniques.

- They become more confident in using visual and tactile elements and materials and processes to communicate what they see, feel and think.
|
Purpose of study
- 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.
Aims
ensure that all pupils:
- produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
- become proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture and other art, craft and design techniques
