Kew House creative trips done right! Year 7 have spent the day soaking up nature (rather than rain) and exploring the incredible Kew Gardens. Check out the shot taken by one of our budding young photographers! #KewHouseArt #proudteacher #artandnature

Another great display of community by our students as they came together to raise funds for Cancer Research with our annual Year 8 Enterprise Fair. Art, Food Tech and D&T subjects working together for a great cause! #KewHouseArt #ProudTeacher #Fundraising #CreativityWins #art

2 of our AMAZING year 13s have earned themselves podium finishes in this year’s ISA Arts Competition!!! 3rd places for both. Molly submitted a green screen triumph and Rania curated a surrealist narrative that is mesmerizing. #KewHouseArt #Proudteacher #competitionwinners

The sun has been shining and the easels placed out on our balcony for year 11’s last first lesson of their GCSEs! What a class they are proving to be. #kewhouseart #potential #BacktoSchool2021

First lesson for our year 12s, circumnavigating control in drawing. Their incredible outcomes suggest only a fraction of what they are truly capable of - this lot are going to blow our minds! Bring on the next 2 years! #kewhouseart #flyingstart #alevelart

Y12 turned their eye towards new technologies, working with just a sheet of paper and various light sources to continue experimenting with control. Their outcomes were spontaneous, independent and daring! #kewhouseart #proudteacher #alevelart

Year 13 are building momentum in their projects. We have a student tackling the ethics of climate-change art, and another dealing with the grotesque and alienating photographic forced perspective. Ambitious little bunch! #kewhouseart #alevel #onaroll #art

Year 12 artists explored the structure of the human body this week. This was a team-building activity in constructing a body. Great fun! Then a photo shoot to animate their sculptures. #KewHouseArt #alevelart #teambuilding #funlessons

Year 10 are taking on one of the greats … Cezanne! A traditional start to what will very quickly become an alternative take on structure and shape. Oil pastel mania in the department today! #KewHouseArt #gcse #mesmerising #focussedstudents

Year 12 continue to push the boundaries by taking a line for a walk, literally! #paulklee inspired installations that question the dynamics of space and discovery #kewhouseart #proudteacher #alevelart #buzzing

Great weather: check. Fully engaged students: check. Incredible staff: check. Year 7’s visit to Kew Gardens was a day to remember. Amazing art inspired by nature: CHECK! Thank you KewGardens #kewhouseart #schooltrip #artoutdoors

Time to shine art’s spotlight on Maddy Y13. She is tackling the fleeting temporality of youth. Her masterful copy of Ophelia has caused a real buzz in the department! Can’t wait to see what she does next! #kewhouseart #proudteacher #alevelart

When a student turns up to your lesson with water pistols and ink, it’s only natural to hang their creation from the ceiling and get the whole group involved. Alexander McQueen tribute #kewhouseart #alevelart #takingrisks

The Royal Academy visited to deliver one of the best life drawing workshops we have seen! Both students and staff found the whole day brilliantly engaging and energetic. Outstanding outcomes achieved by all of our a level artists! #Kewhouseart #lifedrawing

Young future artists in the making spent the morning getting stuck in to poly tile printing today. Feeling excited about welcoming them back next year as our brand new year 7 cohort!

Finally, a real-life exhibition visit for our year 9 and 10 GCSE art students! They are currently scurrying around the Hayward Gallery investigating the endless potential of painting. Can’t wait to see their responses! #kewhouseart #galleryvisit

Year 13 are getting their painting on today. Work is large. Work is small. Our sinks are a mess. However, totally worth it!

Our a level students were yet again shortlisted for the SAF Team Students Prize London 2021! We are so proud of Margaux and Jasmine! A great evening to celebrate all students involved. Incredible work shown! #kewhouseart #studentart #SAFSPLondon

The things we do for our art scholar! Carlota in year 12 is exploring the power of silence. Might have to start all mornings off like this … we’ve never been so quiet! #kewhouseart #alevelart #pushingthelimits #experiencial #whyweteach #zen

Not only is our year13 artist Theo causing quite the buzz with his latest designs, but he is now a published author! Flanelle Magazine have championed his captivating way with words in an article on NFTs. Give it a read! #Kewhouseart #fashion #journalism #proud
