TEA and Tempest

These headdresses were made by Ms Pickering and members of the Year 10 props club for a performance of The Tempest.

 



As you can see I couldn't resist trying them on. The images have been manipulated using the online photo editing tool 'pic monkey'. It's a free and fast way of reflecting a theme. 
It was an outstanding performance in Harlow that evening. Congratulations to all those involved.

Welcome


This Art Department Blog is here to provide a window on the constantly evolving world held within the Leventhorpe School.

               Decollage examples from Year 8 students on the theme of 'Mysterious Interiors'
                             Powerful and surreal collage using magazines and PVA glue.
Our department exists as two large well stock art rooms, adorned with vibrant expressive art work. The staff include two full time teachers of Art (including Head of Department), three part-time Art teachers and two Art technicians. We teach from key stage 3 to 5 including 'A level Art and Photography.


This blog hopes to provide an online presence of interesting tidbits to tantalise and inspire and will ask questions and opinions and hopefully prompt readers to comment and become involved. It will also, of course, showcase the best art work created by students and celebrate the creativity and talent found throughout the year groups at Leventhorpe School.

It will involve plenty of visual information in the form of photographs and may even include interviews and guest posts from artists, teachers and students.
