Vision
At Robert Shaw, we believe that is important for our children to develop a fascination and enjoyment for all aspects of art, and also to develop an ability to express themselves creatively in a variety of different ways and in different contexts. We consider that using the lives and works of artists is an important part of this development. Through the progression of our art curriculum, our children will gain artistic experience and creativity. Big questions are used to encourage critical thinking about art and artists.
In September 2025 we adopted the Transform Trust core art curriculum. We make extensive use of sketchbooks and multimedia techniques through teaching this core content to supplement the teaching of artwork linked to our wider curriculum. The outcomes for this are shown in the overview below.
