Art

Art lessons at St Jérôme School are taught by two teachers mainly through the medium of French using CLIL ( Content and Language integrated learning).

 

Children learn about the work of famous artists from the past and present and explore their own creativity with a range of materials and techniques. We follow the Cornerstone Curriculum and the themes that the year groups work on. Please click here to view our Art and Design Curriculum Map.

In Key Stage 1 children at St Jérôme School are taught:

  • to use a range of materials creatively to design and make products
  • to use drawing, painting and sculpture to develop and share their ideas, experiences and imagination
  • to develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.
  • about the work of a range of artists, craft makers and designers, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work.
  • to evaluate and analyse creative works using the language of art, craft and design.
  • Produce creative work, exploring their ideas

In Key Stage 2 children at St Jérôme School are taught:

  • to produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences and observations in their sketchbooks and to use their books to review and revisit ideas.
  • to carry on improving their mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials (for example, pencil, charcoal, paint and clay).
  •  to keep on learning about great artists, architects and designers in history.
  •  to evaluate and analyse creative works including their own work using more and more the language of art, craft and design

Children work on their sketchbooks on a regular basis to plan, experiment with new skills and to create their own work.

Children create art in our designated creative workshop, atelier créatif, which is fully equipped to support children in the art curriculum. 

This room on our second floor looks out across Harrow and is bathed in light.

We also encourage our families to take their children to see works of Art in galleries in London.
