Objectives

Art and Design

  • Use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination.
  • Develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.
  • Learn about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.

History

  • Learn about changes within living memory.
  • Develop an awareness of the past and use appropriate vocabulary.
  • Know where the forms of transport fit within a broad chronological framework.
