Implementation - what does art learning look like at Shiphay Learning Academy?
At Shiphay, units of work are taught termly and a chosen artist is studied in each strand. Across the years at Shiphay, the children will build on key skills and elements of art and will explore these new skills in their sketchbook; a place for children to express themselves and be creative. From Year 1, the children will have a sketchbook that they take up through the school with them, so they can see the development of their skills as an artist and reflect on previous artists they have explored. See pictures below for examples of imaginative and creative sketchbook pages from across the years.
