NC 1 Level 1Level 2level 1 / Pupils respond to ideas. / They try out, and use, a variety of materials and processes to create their own work. / Pupils describe what they think about the work of others / and explain what they have done in their own work.
AF. 2 /

- identify some successes and failures when developing their ideas
- make and create art, craft and design works to communicate their ideas
- make some improvements to their works
- communicate some differences in others’ art, craft and design works
- express straightforward preferences and give reasons for them
NC Level 2 / Pupils try out ways of exploring ideas for themselves and make some choices about what they will do. / They investigate the nature and qualities of different materials and processes, exercising some control over those they use in their work. / Pupils describe some of the characteristics of different kinds of art, craft and design. / They suggest ways to improve their own work.
Expected attainment for majority at age 7 (end of KS1) is level 2
AF2: Exploring and investigating / AF3: Creating art, craft and design / AF1: Understanding art, craft and design
AF. 3 /

- make connections between their own andothers' work
NC Level 3 / Pupils try out ways of exploring ideas, collecting information and practical resources in order to make informed choices about their work. / They investigate and use the qualities of materials and processes to develop their own practical skills and to make images and artefacts for different purposes / Pupils describe their understanding of the work of others and comment on the ideas and purposes that they encounter. They comment on similarities and differences between their own and others work. / They use their understanding to reflect on, and improve, aspects of their own work.
AF 4 /

- identify significant cultural influences in theworks of different artists
- compare artists’ different ideas, methodsand purposes
NC level 4 / Pupils use a variety of approaches to exploring and experimenting with ideas, information and resources in order to develop their intentions. / They investigate and develop a range of practical skills and use the qualities of materials and processes purposefully when designing and making. / Pupils compare and comment on differing ideas, methods and approaches used by artists, craftspeople and designers relating these to the contexts in which the work was made. / They discuss their own work and that of others and consider how they might adapt and refine their ideas, skills and processes.
Expected attainment for majority at age 11 (end of KS2) is level 4
AF2: Exploring and investigating / AF3: Creating art, craft and design / AF1: Understanding art, craft and design
AF 5 /
- analyse and develop their explorations and investigations
- exploit the potential of new and unfamiliar materials

- create outcomes in which their ideas and purposes are clearly apparent
- improve and refine their own works using their own and others' views
- evaluate how successfully their intentions are being realised
- articulate how different cultures andcontexts influence outcomes
- share opinions and preferences whenresponding to others’ works
- draw on others' methods and approaches toinform their own ideas, intentions andchoices
NC Level 5 / Pupils take some creative risks when exploring, experimenting and responding to ideas and selecting information and resources in order to develop their work. / They develop and use their technical knowledge and skills to manipulate the qualities of materials, processes and the formal elements appropriately, when designing and making. / Pupils consider and discuss the ideas, methods and approaches that are used by artists, craftspersons and designers, relating these to both context and purpose / They evaluate their own work and that of others, reflecting on their own view of its purpose and meaning. They are able to adapt and refine their ideas, processes and intentions.
AF 6 /
- investigate and experiment with ideas ndependently, creatively and purposefully
- investigate a range of resources, materials and processes selecting those relevant to their intentions
- independently select forms to realise their intentions
- evaluate the effectiveness of their own and others' works
- communicate their ideas and intentions and show their understanding of materials, rocesses and formal elements in utcomes
- use other artists' work to draw out culturalinfluences, context and traditions
- express informed opinions about purposesand meanings in others’ works
- analyse how others’ ways of workinginforms their own designing and making
NC Level 6 / Pupils accept creative risks, exploring and experimenting with ideas independently and inventively, imaginatively using a range of appropriate resources to develop, design and make work with some originality. / They apply their technical knowledge and skills, using the qualities of materials, processes and the formal elementseffectively, to realise their intentions. / Pupils interpret and explain how ideas and meanings are conveyed by artists, craftspersons and designers, recognising the varied characteristics of differing cultures. / They provide a reasoned evaluation of the purpose and meaning of their own work and that of others. They use their critical understanding to develop their own views and practice.
Expected attainment for majority at age 14 (end of KS3) is levels 5/6
AF2: Exploring and investigating / AF3: Creating art, craft and design / AF1: Understanding art, craft and design
