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.

    1. The random nature of collage is something that the surrealist artists practiced. They even tore up strips of paper and dropped then on a page, gluing them down wherever they landed.They also played a drawing game called 'The Exquisite Corpse' you may want to research and play.
