Art and Design
At Folksworth Church of England (VC) Primary School we follow Kapow’s Primary’s Art and design scheme of work. This aims to nurture pupils’ creativity, imagination and visual literacy, encouraging them to think like artists and designers.
The intention is for pupils to develop the confidence to experiment, express ideas and communicate meaning through visual and tactile media.
Through this scheme we promote an appreciation of art as a powerful form of human expression, helping pupils to understand its role across different cultures, time periods and creative industries. It encourages children to value originality, take creative risks and reflect critically on their own work and that of others.
Teachers are supported in developing their subject knowledge and pedagogical confidence, enabling the delivery of rich, engaging and purposeful lessons. The curriculum is designed to be both inclusive and ambitious, ensuring all pupils are equipped to enjoy, create and respond to art in meaningful ways.
