Mutual Respect

Tolerance

In Art we ensure that we are aware of and consider the views and values of others, particularly when working collaboratively. We may take votes and hold discussions when making decisions about our work, and collaborative projects. We look at a wide range of artist year 5 Gaudi architecture to year 8 Dali surrealist and how their work makes us feel.

We understand the school rules and guidelines and recognise their importance in keeping ourselves and our peers safe. During projects and activities, we access our tools and materials making sure we are following class rules. We know and understand the consequences of not following these rules.

In Art, we are given the opportunity to express our individuality through our projects. We are given regular opportunities to make our own decisions and choices in our projects. In year 6 pupils are able to choose a medium that they feel will work best for their collage work. Whilst making our own choices, we also know that there are boundaries and we respect these. In year 7 we look at Artist such as Frida Kahlo and how she expressed herself and beliefs through art.

In the Art classroom we behave in a way that positively impacts the work and productivity of others. When giving feedback, we are constructive and respectful of others’ feelings and viewpoints. We work collaboratively on projects, having respect for our peers’ views and being receptive to the advice of others. In year 7 we complete a project on reflections, Pupils have to create work about themselves, we discuss how everyone opinion is different and we have to respect that.

We also use Art as a creative way to experience a variety of festivals and traditions. We understand people have different views and opinions and that that these make them who they are. We are tolerant to such views and opinions and apply these attitudes when working with those who have different faiths and beliefs. We explore beauty through art and continue to do this within the faiths and beliefs of others. In year 7 we look at the Day of the Dead festival and what colours and animals mean in different cultures. 

Spiritual

Moral

Social

Cultural

In Art we encourage the pupil’s ability to enquire and communicate their ideas, meanings and feelings. Pupils will investigate visual, tactile and other sensory qualities of their own and others work. We encourage independent thinking that will enable pupils to develop their ideas and intentions and express these in an appropriate manner with a range of images, materials and mediums.

In Art, pupils are encouraged to look at work that will often pose a moral question. The pupil’s outcomes are supported with a rationale or a meaning that will often convey a message. In the year 7 reflection project, pupils add images with hidden meanings that reflect their personality.

In Art, we ensure pupil's work is celebrated throughout the school and is displayed in many areas. Pupils work independently and collaboratively to produce a range of different art work pieces. We use a range of different artists to inspire and show pupils how art brings pupils together in a community and help artists express their own feelings. Pupils discuss and research a range of artists and art work, encouraging and developing communication skills.

Throughout the units of work explored, pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of artist’s ideas and concepts identifying how meanings are conveyed. Pupils will be exposed to a wide variety of cultures, beliefs and religions. Through their investigations they will research and explore the religious and non-religious beliefs adopted by a variety of cultures from around the world.
