Art and Design in Key Stage 3
Curriculum Intent: In 1997 the Library of Congress in Washington DC selected the great 1961 motion picture ‘The Hustler’ for preservation in the United States Film Registry because it was “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant”. We have approached what we include in our KS3 Curriculum offer in a similar way, but Art is a broad topic, and it has been impossible to include everything we might wish to share with the students of Hailsham Community College. Instead, we view this as a process. We are making a start; conducting an initiation into some of the key genres of Art, some of the skills, some of the processes that comprise an Art education. We are also exploring Design and Illustration. We are reflective practitioners; our delivery and content will undoubtedly continue to evolve.
