From the School
What are the goals and justifications of Ark Kings' art curriculum? At Ark Kings, we want to provide students with the information and abilities they need to develop into imaginative artists who are comfortable working with a variety of media. We are passionate about cultivating artists who can discuss thematic elements in art, the historical setting in which a work was made, as well as produce original works of art. More phase-specific information is provided in Our Primary Art Curriculum Purpose and Rationale: Purpose and Justification for the Primary Art Curriculum.pdf Our art curriculum overview lists the subjects and themes that students in each year group study in terms of art skills: Art Threads, a PDF. To learn how to work on collaborative projects, students often participate in whole-school art projects. Children studied the use of colour, tone, and line in an autumnal whole-school art project based on the novel "The Dot."
