Blackminster Middle School



Art and Design/Textiles Implementation Program of StudyINTENTDuring art lessons at Blackminster Middle School, our intent is that all pupils have the opportunity to work within a variety of visual areas: drawing, painting, sculpting, textiles, clay and other art, craft and design techniques. Pupils will develop their critical analysis and evaluation skills of other artists, designers and craft makers whilst also exploring the value of historical and cultural influences. Personal creativity, character and individuality are actively encouraged throughout their experiences in art.ImplementationPupils are taught many of their lessons in our purpose built Art and Design classroom complete with a kiln and brand new textiles and graphics classroom. They have access to a huge variety of resources and mediums and benefit from the teaching of specialist art and design teacher. The curriculum is designed to ensure pupils have a broad and balanced view of art, which stretches far beyond just painting and drawing. The artists studied are selected carefully to allow pupils to explore their passion for the subject and again broaden their horizons and provide a greater cultural understanding of Britain and the rest of the world.ImpactPupils in all years benefit from the ability to explore art in all its forms. They make excellent progress and this is demonstrated through their finished work, much of which is displayed throughout the school. In addition to this, the school recognises the greater value of the Arts and pupils benefit from an inclusive approach which allows all pupils to build their cultural understanding. As well as a love of art and an appreciation of its history, pupils develop a critical understanding of art and artists, are able to communicate what they like and do not like and understand the benefit of art for their mental health and wellbeing. As a department, we are exceedingly proud of the work they produce and the connections they make. ................
