They experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. They will also learn how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. In Key Stage 1 pupils will be taught to use a range of materials creatively. Pupils will use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination. In addition they will develop a wide range of techniques using colour, patterns, texture, line, shape, form and space. They will look at a range of artists, craft makers and designers, whilst making links to their own work. In Key Stage 2 pupils will continue to build on and develop their techniques from Key stage 1 using a wide range of materials, the children will create sketch books to record their observations and use them to review and revisit ideas. They will learn about great artists, architects and designers throughout history. ### Art [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7373.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7373.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7310.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7310.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7328.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7328.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7294.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7294.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7330.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7330.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/art/IMG_7372.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/gallery/art/IMG_7372.JPG) ### Art Art & Design Knowledge 287 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/files/documents/Art_and_Design_Knowledge.pdf) Art Policy 448 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/files/documents/Art_Policy_-_Nov_2021_-_24-11.pdf) Art Skills Progression Map 212 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/files/documents/Art_Skills_Progression_Map_updated.docx_AC.pdf) ![Shawclough Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/shawcloughprimaryschool/images/logo/AVATAR(1).jpeg) Thrum Hall Lane Shawclough, Rochdale Greater Manchester OL12 6DE [01706 647991](tel:01706647991) ## Useful Links [Contact Us](https://shawcloughprimaryschool.schudio.com/contact) Mission Statement [Our Staff](https://shawcloughprimaryschool.schudio.com/Our-School/staff-list) Ofsted Report © Copyright 2015–2026 Shawclough Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://shawcloughprimaryschool.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
