At Alderman Cogan’s we want to give all our children the best possible start in life academically, as citizens and as lifelong learners. Above all, we want them to be highly literate and able to have all the learning necessary to help them to thrive in a complex, changing and competitive world. We want all our students to be ambitious for themselves and about their futures. We will provide the pathways and support for them to realise their ambitions, ‘through a Christian lens’.
Our Art and Design curriculum encapsulates creative thinking as well as creativity. It embraces evaluative processes, self-improvement and self-expression. Experimentation is greatly encouraged and through discussion and evaluation, the children become equipped to ask exploratory questions, develop their critical thinking and form opinions on their own work and that of others. This alongside our ‘Cogan Learning Goal’ equips our children for their transition into secondary school and empowers them to become creative, confident and
evaluative artists.
Our Art and Design curriculum will engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. Our curriculum teaches children about colour theory by studying the colour wheel and exploring mixing tints, shades and tones throughout Nursery, Foundation, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two to allow pupils to expand on previous learning. This allows them to evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
