You will find our art curriculum below.  You will see that it runs on a two-year rolling programme with all pupils at Longney experiencing two art enquiries per year.  This allows teachers to plan together, giving them chance to learn from each other and share expertise, focusing fully on depth of subject knowledge in art for that period.  It also means the whole school is working on becoming artists at the same time, meaning we can involve the whole school community, with the added bonus that everyone is buzzing with enthusiasm for art, discussing and sharing ideas and joy for the subject together in line with our school vision.

Throughout each unit, children learn about and are inspired by pieces of art and artists whilst developing their skills in line with carefully planned, progressive steps and critiquing their own work in the build-up to a final piece which is created outside of their art book e.g. on canvas, through sculpture.
