There has been an abundance of creativity over the last few months. Here is a small selection of the artwork pupils across the school have created during our online art sessions @DownsendSchool #create #keepdrawing

So, our final Daily Doodle is done! Here's just a small selection of the doodles going all the way back to when we started on 22 April! @DownsendSchool #dailydoodle #create #keepdrawing

This week’s Artist of the Week is Jasper G in Year 8. Inspired by the work of Slinkachu, an artist who creates very small installations and then photographs them, Jasper set about creating his own miniature scenes... and what incredible results! Well done! @DownsendSchool

Yesterday's Daily Doodle was inspired by Quentin Blake's wonderful rainbow illustrations. Here are a few imaginative creations from Myles H, Jamie H and Sophie M @DownsendSchool @QuentinBlakeHQ

After reading Roald Dahl's description of Mr Twit, Year 4 had a go at drawing their own interpretations of him... and here are some of the brilliant results! Well done Annabel, Ethan, Oscar and Raffaella! @DownsendSchool

I love these whale drawings from yesterday morning's doodle! Myles H in Year 2 and Sophie M in Y5 used biro so effectively to create a range of tone. Well done! @DownsendSchool

We’ve had another creative week, with lots of pupils joining in with the morning doodle and our afternoon art sessions. Our Artist of the Week is Annabel E in 4EF, who followed along with Wednesday’s doodle to create this beautifully atmospheric seascape @DownsendSchool

Back at school, Year 6 had their first socially distanced art lesson and used the school grounds to inspire their observational drawings of natural forms. Here are a few brilliant examples from Alexander C, Keira F and Polly G-G. Well done! @DownsendSchool

Here is Rhys in 7BD's super 'Artist in a Box' project... After researching Banksy, he constructed a miniature room complete with a recreation of ‘Girl with Balloon’, which was famously shredded by its own frame moments after being sold at auction. Great job, Rhys! @DownsendSchool

In the Upper School, Year 6 used their imaginations to create their ideal view while Years 7 & 8 have been working on an exciting ‘Artist in a Box’ project; we're hoping to share some of these projects next week! @DownsendSchool #keepdrawing #create

Years 4 & 5 finished their shadow art and used a variety of techniques to add colour and detail to their work @DownsendSchool #keepdrawing #create

Lots more wonderful art this week...Years 2 & 3 have been developing their observational drawing skills and produced a series of exciting still life images @DownsendSchool #keepdrawing #create

It took a bit of time to put together but here is our illustrated @DownsendSchool Street Party table... We'd need a very long table to host this party! Thank you to all the pupils who contributed their plates of delicious looking party food!

Thank you @mrs_darl for the fantastic window illustration. We LOVED using it in this morning's Daily Doodle. Here are a few @DownsendSchool creations... Well done Orla, Lottie and Daniella #ThankYouNHS #dailydoodle #create #keepdrawing
