Secondary Art
At North Star 180, our art curriculum is carefully designed to engage, inspire, and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to experiment, invent, and create their own works of art, craft, and design.
At North Star 180°, we believe that art is a form of expression.
At North Star 180 students explore a diverse range of
traditional and contemporary Artists, Craftspeople and Designers, exploring
their curiosity and understanding of the world around them. Students’
experiences will enable them to develop an appreciation of how art can shape
and define different cultures, historic and global events.
In each Art theme, students’ will explore a variety of techniques
and skills that will enable them to develop their own creativity and practical
skills that will allow them to express ideas and feelings, record observations
and design ideas. Every Art project, students will develop key skills such as
line, shape, texture, form, space, colour and value, through exploring a
variety of art processes and techniques such as clay, drawing, carving, printing
and painting.
A well-sequenced art curriculum will allow students to make progression
through the refinement of skills and building on prior knowledge. Through high
quality art lessons learners will become reflective critical thinkers with the
abilities to express themselves creatively. Our Art and Design curriculum aims
to be exciting and ambitious for all students.
