National Curriculum Targets (Key Stage 3)
Exploring and developing ideas
• discuss and question critically, and select from a range of visual and other information [for example, exhibitions, interviews with practitioners, CDROMs] to help them develop ideas for independent work
• organise and present this information in different ways, including using a sketchbook.
Knowledge and understanding
• continuity and change in the purposes and audiences of artists, craftspeople and designers from Western Europe and the wider world [for example, differences in the roles and functions of art in contemporary life, medieval, Renaissance and post-Renaissance periods in Western Europe, and in different cultures such as Aboriginal, African, Islamic and Native American].
Breadth of study
• using a range of materials and processes, including ICT [for example, painting, collage, print making, digital media, textiles, sculpture].
• investigating art, craft and design in the locality, in a variety of genres, styles and traditions, and from a range of historical, social and cultural contexts [for example, in original and reproduction form, during visits to museums, galleries and sites, on the internet] .
