The Kapow Art and design scheme is designed with five strands that run throughout. These are:
- Generating ideas
- Using sketchbooks
- Making skills, including formal elements (line, shape, tone, texture, pattern, colour)
- Knowledge of artists
Evaluating and analysing units of lessons are sequential, allowing children to build their skills and knowledge, applying them to a range of outcomes. The formal elements, a key part of the National Curriculum, are also woven throughout units. Key skills are revisited again and again with increasing complexity. This allows pupils to revise and build on their previous learning. Units in each year group are organised into four core areas:
- Drawing
- Painting and mixed-media
- Sculpture
- Craft and design
Art lessons at Thomas Jolyffe are always practical in nature and encourage experimental and exploratory learning with pupils using sketchbooks to document their ideas. Lessons are differentiated to ensure they can be accessed and enjoyed by all pupils'.
