At St Saviour’s, we want our children to love creative arts!

We want them to have no limits to what their ambitions are and to grow up wanting to be illustrators, graphic designers, fashion designers, curators, architects or printmakers. Our Creative Arts curriculum is designed to engage, inspire and challenge pupils, whilst equipping them with the knowledge and skills to be able to experiment, invent and create their own works of art.

Autumn Term 1 topic and objectives:

Art: Typography

Children will be able to:

• I have understood that Typography is the visual art of creating and arranging letters and words on a page to help communicate ideas or emotions. 
• I have seen how other artists work with typography and have been able to share my thoughts on their work.
• I have explored how I can create my own letters in a playful way using cutting and collage.
• I can reflect upon what I like about the letters I have made.
• I have drawn my own letters using pen and pencil inspired by objects I have chosen around me.
• I can reflect upon why my letters have a meaning to me. 
• I have used my sketchbooks for referencing, collecting and testing ideas, and reflecting. 
• I can make my drawings appear visually stronger by working over maps or newspaper to make my marks stronger.
• I have seen how some artists use their typography skills and drawing skills to make maps which are personal to them.
• I have been able to reflect upon what I think their maps mean, what I like about them, and what interests me.
• I can use my mark making, cutting and collage skills to create my own visual map, using symbols, drawn elements and typography to express themes which are important to me.
• I have shared my work with the class, reflected upon what was successful and been able to give useful feedback on the work of my peers.
