Art Competition
Mrs Hayer recently ran an International Artist Day competition.
Each year group was given a different internationally known artist to use as inspiration to create a unique and creative work of art. Mrs Hayer was thrilled with the enthusiasm with which so many children took on the challenge, but this made choosing one winner from each year group a little too difficult for Mrs Hayer and her team! There were 3D sculptures, collages, drawings, paintings, mixed media works and even a cake!
With so many fantastic pieces to choose from, Mrs Hayer and her art ambassadors: Eshaan and Riley from Year 6, chose not just one winner but at least one runner up entry for each year group, with all winners receiving a prize of art materials.
Congratulations to all the entrants and their family helpers, it was great to see that so many of you made it a team effort!
Below are photographs of the winning entries:

Intent
At Norristhorpe, our Art, Craft and Design curriculum is designed to inspire pupils and develop their confidence to experiment and invent their own works of art. Our curriculum has been written by experts in their field and designed to give pupils every opportunity to develop their artistic abilities, nurture their talents and interests, express their ideas and thoughts about the world, as well as learning about the rich heritage and culture of the British Isles and beyond.
Implementation
At Norristhorpe, our Art, Craft and Design curriculum is based on the scheme of work designed by ‘Kapow’. This supports pupils to meet the National Curriculum end of key stage attainment targets and has been written to fully cover the National Society for Education in Art and Design’s progression competencies.
The Kapow Art scheme of work is designed with four strands that run throughout.
These are:
• Making skills
• Formal Elements (line, shape, tone, texture, pattern, colour)
• Knowledge of artists
• Evaluating
Through our structured curriculum, these strands are revisited in every unit.
In our skills and our Formal Elements of Art units, pupils have the opportunity to learn and practice these skills discretely. The knowledge and skills from these units are then applied throughout the other units within the scheme. Key skills are revisited again and again with increasing complexity in a spiral curriculum model. This allows pupils to continuously revise and build on prior learning.
The Norristhorpe Art curriculum develops pupil’s knowledge and understanding of key artists and movements by linking each project to one or more contemporary, past, British or international artist.
Creativity and independent outcomes are embedded in our units, supporting our pupils to learn how to make their own creative decisions.
Lessons are practical in nature and encourage experimental and exploratory learning.
At Norristhorpe, we teach Art for at least one hour a week, in alternate half terms.
Impact
The Art curriculum at Norristhorpe is designed in such a way that children are involved in the evaluation of, dialogue and decision making about the quality of their individual outcomes and any improvements they could make. By taking part in regular discussions and decision making processes, children will not only know facts and key information about art but will be able to talk confidently about their own learning journey, have higher metacognition skills and have a growing understanding of how to improve.
The impact of our curriculum is monitored through both formative and summative assessment opportunities.
A Norristhorpe artist should leave school able to:
✓ Produce creative work, exploring and recording their ideas and experiences.
✓ Be proficient in drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art, craft and design techniques.
✓ Evaluate and analyse creative works using subject-specific language.
✓ Know about great artists and the historical and cultural development of their art.
✓ Meet the end of key stage expectations outlined in the National curriculum.
