St Michael’s School adopted the 36 pathways within AccessArt Primary Art Curriculum.

We are fully subscribed and our staff have full access to detailed planning.

    EYFS FOLLOW 7 STRANDS

• What Can We See?
• How Can We Explore Colour?
• How Can We Build Worlds?
• How Can We Explore Materials & Marks?
• How Can We Explore 3d Materials?
• How Can We Use Our Bodies To Make Art?
• How Can We Use Our Imaginations?

Within each area we have provided activities which enable an open-ended, playful exploration of materials, processes and ideas, which in turn nurture dexterity skills, promote an early understanding of visual literacy skills, and begin to build the child’s confidence in their ability to make a personal, creative response to stimuli. 

Together these opportunities provide a foundation for pupils to develop skills further through the AccessArt

The strands Y1 to Y6 follow are detailed below.
