Art & Design Curriculum Map Intent The formal elements in art, line, tone, form, colour & texture underpin all learning in art and design. Students are encouraged to develop their observational drawing skills and record their ideas in a variety of forms using a different experimental media. Art Textiles techniques are taught alongside Fine Art drawing and painting and pupils are also given the opportunity to explore 3D forms. Sketchbook exploration is key to a student’s success and they are encouraged and supported in developing pride in their work and their presentation. Students explore a variety of artists from different periods of time and different cultural influences and are encouraged to evaluate how art has changed over time and how different art forms lead to different career pathways. How will you ensure consistency from your portfolio? Progression to next stage of learning: A Level Art, Photography, Fashion & Textiles Btec Art & Design

Preparation for Externally Set Assignment
Pupils at KS4 opt to study AQA GCSE Art & Design Fine Art or Art Textiles. Across the 2 year course pupils will continue to learn new skills and techniques and well and embed knowledge and skills from prior KS3 learning. The course will allow students to make informed decisions about their own creative practice in a culture of experimentation, exploration and critical reflection and they are encouraged and supported to be independent thinkers. Students will continue to explore a range of artists and techniques across 2 portfolio projects in year 10. Each project is underpinned by visual research, exploration of media and development of key ideas in response to artists through to a creative independent outcome.
Portfolio Project 1
