Kissing it Better Murals

We are delighted to be working with the charity Kissing it Better to support patients in local hospitals. Our fantastic year 7 have been asked to create a character mural for someone else to colour in. This is a great opportunity to share our mindfulness and wellbeing project. We are looking forward to sharing this work with the charity after half term. 

                                 

 

                                              

Year 7 Mixed Media work

Year 7 have been studying the Artist Jim Dine and we have had some fantastic mixed media work. These are just a few outcomes on display in school. The results are fantastic and year 7 really enjoyed creating stencils and using stained techniques to age their paper.

Miss Smith has been delivering on a Thursday after school, an Art Club for year 7. One of the topics were self-portraits on a spoon. Here are the fantastic outcomes created. Well done they look fantastic!

GCSE Art- What you will study

We have many talented young artists in NLS and to showcase some of the fantastic outcomes I have put together a flavour of what our year 9 students have completed for the Surreal Identify Project. Starting with portraiture drawing,  surreal collages, leading onto surreal card construction and independent project work.
