• Provide opportunities to study the world analytically

• Establish an appropriate vocabulary to enable pupils to understand and discuss their own work and that of others
• Enable pupils to appreciate and evaluate the work of a range of artists, from their own and other cultures
• Provide opportunities to critically evaluate own work
