Disciplinary knowledge asks the questions that are at the heart of the subject: 

• What is art? Pupils learn about the diversity of artistic outcomes, the purpose and the meaning of art, and how it has been part of much of human history. 
• What do artists do? Pupils learn about how artists are influenced by their own contexts and worldviews, and present this worldview through their art; they can choose to accurately represent the world around them, choose to express themselves and/or challenge others’ worldviews through their art 
• What inspires artists? Pupils learn about the range of ways that artists – and that pupils as artists – can be inspired.
