WELCOME TO LEARNING THROUGH THE ARTS
At our school we believe that children should be encouraged to be creative and that they should be taught the skills
that will allow them to be independent creators. Please look below to view some of our recent work.
Please look below for a range of materials and resources that shape pupils learning through art in our school. If you can't find what you're looking for, please contact our art lead, Mrs Rachael Hodgson, through the school office.

INTENT At Linthwaite Ardron we intend our Art and Design curriculum to provide the children with opportunities to develop and extend skills and to express their individual interests, thought and ideas. IMPLEMENTATION Children at Linthwaite Ardron are taught Art as part of their termly topic work. Details are show in long term plans. Children are taught how to use art resources correctly at an age appropriate level to support encouragement of interest beyond school. Our children learn about great artists (both historical and modern) and they learn to evaluate their own and the work of others. Work is planned to build on skills sequentially through school. IMPACT Our children will be confident to use their skills and knowledge of art to express themselves in a way that supports their next steps in education or life. |

During our topic 'Earth and Space' we listened to a wide selection of songs and music based on the sky, stars and heavens above, including Holst, David Bowie and (our favourite) 'Starry Starry Night' by Don McLean. This lead us to looking at Van Gogh's night-time paintings and his 'Starry Night' in particular. We created a large scale collaborative piece using sand, glue, tissue paper and acrylic paint as well as our own individual versions replicating Van Gogh's style and brush strokes.
