Art – Painting

Intent, Implementation and Impact

Subject Key Objective Progression & Development by Year Groups

The following is a guide to help you understand your child’s progression through school.

All lessons are differentiated. This means teachers plan activities that enable the objective to be learned by all children including those who will find the objective challenging, those children who with hard work will secure good progress and those children who can tackle extra stretch and challenge in this subject.

Intent, Implementation and Impact

The curriculum is designed with our pupils and the Swinemoor community in mind.

It enables children to access and enhance their understanding of their home, their town and the wider community, developing their cultural capital and giving them opportunities and choices about their future and their impact as they progress through their school career and beyond.

This will help them become successful members of modern British society, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities.

  • Sequencing

  • EYFS:  Paint can be applied evenly and with some accuracy to create a finished product representing something from the real world.
  • Year 1:  Paint can be applied evenly, accurately and consistently to create a finished product representing something from the real world.
  • Year 2: Paint can be applied accurately and consistently including some emergent highlights and lowlights representing depth in the real world.
  • Year 3: Consistent and accurate painting coupled with a growing understanding of depth and tone results in a sophisticated representation of the real world.
  • Year 4: Consistent and accurate painting coupled with a growing understanding of depth and tone results in a sophisticated representation of the real world with increasing independence.
  • Year 5:  Observational painting is accurate with highlights and lowlights used to create increasingly convincing depth, texture and realism.

  • Year 6:  Painting evidences convincing scale, depth, texture, and tone through the majority of a piece.

  • Mastery:  Painting evidences consistently convincing scale, depth, texture and tone throughout a piece.

  • Impact

What knowledge will the children have embedded?

Children will be able to recall and demonstrate the skills required to produce their portrait. They will be able to explain the correct way to hold a paintbrush, how to select appropriate colours and apply paint to achieve a desired effect. They will recall examples of portraiture and know the techniques used in these examples.

What retention may be demonstrated?

Here are some example questions that may be used to assess children’s understanding.

EYFS: Can you tell me about your painting? What does it show?

KS1: How do you hold a paintbrush when painting? What does highlight mean?

KS2: How do you show depth in a painting? How would you demonstrate depth in a painting?
