At Summerswood Primary School, we recognise that Art And Design stimulates creativity and imagination. Our Curriculum Maps enable children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel, and think, through the use of different media. We promote critical and reflective consideration of artists, craft-workers, and designers. This impacts upon self-evaluation. The skills the children acquire are applied cross-curricular; helping the children to understand how Art And Design shapes our history, our place in history, our culture and our cultural identity.
Curriculum Maps
Essential lessons vary in length – these can extend over one or more weekly sessions. Every child has their own sketchbook for Art. Many units include Art History and reiterate the names of artists. Previous learning is referred to, to reinforce progression of skills. One sample of work per lesson is added to the Classroom Art Folder displayed on its display stand in class. The folder is a resource for learning; it evidences how skills have progressed.

Remembrance Day
Children and teachers from Nursery to Year 6 were given the challenge of decorating their own poppy to create this memorial that was shared with the community on the Furzehill Road gates.
An example of a visual and cross-curricular activity for the children to connect colour and pattern via mark-making (fine motor skills) with storytelling (Literacy) and Number Work.
The children created cave paintings as well as beautiful artworks depciting Stone Henge.
The children learnt about The Romans and created these Roman coins using clay.
