St Helens Progression in Art – Skills and Vocabulary through different Media

This document aims to give guidance on the progression of art knowledge, skills and techniques across the year groups and to aid planning. It can also be used to differentiate work, and expectations, appropriately for pupils working above and below age-related expectations (particularly SEND pupils and GD pupils). Potential GD pupils should also be encouraged to record more independently and freely in their sketchbooks as well as be encouraged to experiment with and use materials and media of their own choice. Their increasingly critical thinking and in-depth evaluation of their own and others’ artwork should be reflected in their sketch books and the works of art they create with increasing confidence and independence of thought. Refer to the long term plan to check coverage of media taught in previous year groups.Art Skills and Vocabulary Progression GridDownloadArt Skills Progression GridDownload
