ART Curriculum 5 Year Plan:- Overall intent: To provide access to a rich world of possibilities to be an independent and successful professional designer, artist or craftsperson.
Implementation: An engaging and challenging curriculum that builds and stretches knowledge and relates that knowledge directly to problem solving and independence.
Ultimately, the purpose of modelling is to help novice pupils become more capable of learning independently and thinking metacognitively. Over time, such thinking becomes
habitual –acting as an ‘Internal scaffolding’ that will support future learning.
