Curriculum Overview – Art and Photography
Intent “As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress; each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step
forward” - Vincent Van Gogh.
Art and Photography gives us a rich picture of the world, from which we are then able to make moral and cultural
judgements. This supports us in becoming articulate, confident and opinionated with everything we see in an artistic
and visual world. The Arts are important to build a passionate and reflective pupil to have a brave approach when
developing skills with media and their techniques, using the physical act of art as a tool for looking, experiencing and
learning. Understanding and applying the formal elements of art across all disciplines: line, shape, form, tone, texture,
pattern, colour and composition are vital in underpinning creative work.
A commitment to nurture; resilient, ambitious and curious people who will embed creativity in their own futures,
careers and everyday life.
Overarching concepts for Art and Photography at Sarum Academy are:
Resilience – trying something more than once
Safety and safe working practices – using tools and techniques safely and correctly
Culture – understanding the art world we live in
Proportion and Scale - mathematical approaches to arts
Formal Elements - showing understanding and application of: line, shape, form, tone, texture, pattern, colour and composition.
Research - finding information about a topic that informs art
Observe and record - mark making and drawing
Explore and Respond – experimenting with media and their properties
Refine and Reflective – vocalise, annotate and present findings
Describe and analyse – how and why
Independence – identify own strengths and weakness
Artistic Journey - starting point to a final conclusion
GCSE Art overarching knowledge
The work and approaches of artists, craftspeople or designers from contemporary and/or historical contexts, periods, societies and
cultures
Contemporary and/or historical environments, situations or issues
The ways in which meanings, ideas and intentions can be communicated through visual and tactile language, using formal elements,
including: colour, line, form, shape, tone, texture
The characteristics, properties and effects of using different media, materials, techniques and processes, and the ways in which they
can be used in relation to students’ own creative intentions
The different purposes, intentions and functions of art, craft and design in a variety of contexts
A Level/BTEC Art overarching knowledge
How ideas, feelings and meanings can be conveyed and interpreted in images and artefacts
How images and artefacts relate to the time and place in which they were made and to their social and cultural contexts
Continuity and change in different genres, styles and traditions
A working vocabulary and specialist terminology.
Record experiences and observations, in a variety of ways using drawing or other appropriate visual forms; undertake research; and
gather, select and organise visual and other appropriate information
Explore relevant resources; analyse, discuss and evaluate images, objects and artefacts; and make and record independent
judgements
Use knowledge and understanding of the work of others to develop and extend thinking and inform own work
Generate and explore potential lines of enquiry using appropriate media and techniques
Apply knowledge and understanding in making images and artefacts; review and modify work; and plan and develop ideas in the light of
their own and others’ evaluations
Organising selecting and communicating ideas, solutions and responses, and present them in a range of visual, tactile and/or sensory
forms.
Year 13
Greater specialisation in a particular medium or process
Extended development of particular themes, ideas, concepts or issues
Further theoretical research and increased requirement to demonstrate understanding through integrated practical and written forms,
and other means of communication
More rigorous exploration of an inter-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary approach.
Implementation Learning is embedded through the development of knowledge and skills over time and through overlapping concepts. Projects are holistically
planned to ensure fluidity and content in changing times and the world. Through foundations and experiences with media skills will develop and
improve showing confidence and dexterity. Progression is mapped coherently ensuring the basis of each topic is underpinned with skill and
knowledge. This progression allows for effective differentiation, marking and feedback and stretch for more able pupils. Pupils have access to
vocabulary and spelling lists. Extended writing allows pupils to develop their language and vocabulary within the curriculum. The Sarum
Academy Art department promote confidence and tenacity through community projects, enrichment and any other artistic opportunity to thrive.

Impact By the end of Key Stage 3 pupils will be able to show a range of skills using
various media, demonstrating technical skills including drawing painting,
printing, mixed media and 3D exploration. They will be able to understand the
colour wheel and the formal elements within Art demonstrating an
understanding of line, shape, tone, etc. They will be able to talk about and
describe the work of historical and contemporary artists. Pupils will be able to
make informed choice about the media, techniques and processes of their own
work, showing an independent and reflective journey. To leave Key Stage 3
with a deeper understanding of the relationship between Art and Culture. As
pupils move through the course they will become familiar with a range of artists
and genres important and relevant in today’s society.
By the end of Key Stage 4 pupils will demonstrate a deeper understanding of
the work of others and their own artworks.
Pupils will be able to independently plan, prepare, present and evaluate a
greater range of media and their techniques. They will be able to understand a
brief as a creative process, presenting work in a public setting.
By the end of Key stage 5 pupils will become deeper thinkers empowered by
their own and others work. They will have a reflective understanding of moral,
cultural and social issues. Confidence will be built by speaking and presenting
their work to others; thus developing self-esteem and a passion for the subject.
Pupils will pursue best practise by realising their strongest artistic outcomes;
ultimately setting them up for higher education and a prospective career in the
arts.
