--- title: "Art" url: "https://www.selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/art" school: "Selwood Academy" --- # Art ### Art Subject Vision We are **Artists** ### **Create Express Explore** **Create:** Through exploration of diverse materials, techniques, and concepts, we foster an environment where pupils can experiment freely, develop their unique artistic voice, and build confidence in their creative abilities. By emphasising the importance of process over perfection, we aim to empower pupils to see art as a dynamic journey of self-expression and innovation. **Express:** We believe that art is a powerful form of personal expression that allows pupils to communicate their thoughts, emotions, and ideas in unique and meaningful ways. By exploring different mediums, techniques, and styles, we encourage pupils to take creative risks and develop the confidence to share their individual perspectives. **Explore:** By examining the elements of design, technique, and composition, pupils will gain a deeper understanding of how art communicates meaning and emotion. Through reflection and discussion, we aim to help pupils analyse the creative choices they make and recognise the broader cultural and historical contexts of art. *Ultimately, we seek to empower pupils to use art as a tool for personal expression, communication, and understanding.* ### Curriculum Map ### ![](https://www.selwood.somerset.sch.uk/images/pages/9d7925bcee8f2cae528a5cd1f95a7e20.png) ### ### Curriculum Overview Curriculum progression Art 53 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/selwood-academy/files/documents/Curriculum_Progression_Grid_Art_2026_2027.docx) ### Knowledge Organisers ### Year 5: Knowledge organiser -
