At St. Joseph's we use Kapow Primary, an award winning programme of study, for the teaching and learning of Art. 

We ensure that the following skills and knowledge are taught:

• Generating ideas and using sketchbooks: taking inspiration from a range of artists
• Making: developing drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media, craft techniques and sculpture skills
• Formal elements: exploring colour, form, line, pattern, shape, texture and tone
• Knowledge of artists: discovering artists' work and techniques
• Evaluation: critiquing their own work and that of others

We aim to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. The scheme we use was written by experts in their field and designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their ability, nurture their talent and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about art and artists across cultures and through history.

We support pupils to meet the National curriculum end of key stage attainment targets and has been written to fully cover the National Society for Education in Art and Design’s progression competencies.
