Curriculum Threads
Our Coppice Curriculum Threads: Brave, Kind and Curious are woven throughout our art curriculum.
Brave
We celebrate brave artists at Coppice Valley! Our curriculum encourages children to take creative risks, try new tools, and express their ideas with freedom. Our Art curriculum encourages pupils to communicate ideas, emotions and viewpoints confidently, whether visually, verbally or reflectively. From trying out new techniques to explaining the meaning behind their work, children develop the skills to express their thoughts clearly and creatively. We nurture resilience through artistic risk-taking and empower children to use art as a powerful form of self-expression.
Kind
At Coppice Valley, kindness in art begins with how we represent and understand the world and each other. Our curriculum embraces inclusivity by thoughtfully selecting a wide range of artists from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. By learning about a wide and diverse range of artists, children gain insight into varied perspectives and how art reflects identity and heritage. We explore themes of community, care and sustainability through creative projects that encourage empathy and a deeper connection with the world around us.
Curious
Curiosity drives our Art curriculum through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Pupils explore materials and ideas with purpose, developing critical thinking through real-world challenges and creative problem-solving. Outdoor learning enriches experiences, encouraging discovery and deeper connections to the environment. Children are given the skills and freedom to explore that empowers them to shape their own artistic journeys.
