Year Nine have been learning about the Pop Art movement. They selected their hero or icon and represented them using lino print and simplified drawing to create a striking final piece. Have a look at some of their outcomes below.

After six months of exploring a range of different drawing techniques using pencil, fine liner, ink coffee and painting materials such as water colour and acrylic painting, Year 10 art students then moved into print-making, take a look a the range of outcomes produced below. We hope you enjoy looking at them.

Our SLS Christmas card competition was open to all students again this year. We have had so many fantastic entries from all year groups. The winning design will go out to parents and carers, members of our local community, and local care homes. Here is a selection of some of the students’ beautiful work. Merry Christmas!

The Big Draw is the world’s largest drawing festival with thousands of drawing activities connecting people of all ages with museums, outdoor spaces, artists, designers illustrators, and each other.
This year’s theme for the festival is: ‘Make the Change’ and the festival is asking people to explore the relationship between people and our living environments through Art; this could focus on climate change, where you live, recycling or sustainability.
Some of our KS3 students have chosen to make a piece of art in response to this brief, you can see their wonderfully creative submissions below. Well done to all those who took the time to produce a piece of work at home.

KS3 students were given the opportunity to develop their photography skills in response to the work of the photographer Slinkachu. They had lots of fun exploring scale and perspective in their work both in the classroom and outside spaces. We were amazed by the level of creativity and sense of narrative behind some of the photographs!

Our Year 7 students used inspiration from the world around them to produce a batch of creative cupcakes during lockdown 3.0. Take a look at some of their results.

Throughout Term 3, the Art department ran a series of optional Art challenges for Year 7 – an illuminated letter design about their personal identity, a creative photograph celebrating the work of the NHS, and the googly eye challenge. The students produced some fantastic work – it is lovely to see how creative they are being whilst at home!
