As an art teacher, I’m asked this question often. I wonder how you’d answer it? #whyart – at Bedford, England

😢 this is so sad to here. The arts are such a valuable resource for us all. – at Southall, London

Yesterday was my last day at @SpringwestA I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with some of the most amazing people: a fantastic staff team and unforgettable students who burrow into your heart. I learnt, taught and laughed so much here; I will truelly treasure and miss SWA

In tidying up my room for the end of year I came across this note from one of our lovely year 11 students this year. I was so touched by her words I had to share. So sad I never got to say a proper good bye @MsKHoroz @SpringwestA

To round off their natural forms project year 7 completed these stunning A3 tree silhouette with blended warm and cool colours in the negative spaces between the branches on a sunset backdrop using oil pastels. @SpringwestA @SpringwestArt

Year 9 played with 1 point perspective and street artist Space Invader to create this perspective drawing. Good effort 9NLL

Love Fariya’s Fragmented Cupcake, this year 8 talent used a limited pallet of colours with great versatility of medium and application of tone 🤗 I had to share it! @SpringwestArt @SpringwestA – at Southall, London

Year 8 studied Picasso’s #Guernica both historically and artistically; making fact files and drawing studied. For the collaborative piece each were given a section of the painting to enlarge. I can’t wait to see all their work displayed as a mural @SpringwestArt @SpringwestArt

Each student was given a grid and a cubist still life scene, here are some of the beautiful tonal drawings 8KDA created. We have seen such talent from year 8 this year #proudartteacher #proudformtutor @SpringwestArt @SpringwestA – at Southall, London

Year 8 handed in some last minute Picasso style portrait this week as an extension to our cubism work this term, loving the bright colours from 8ATA and the compositions from 8JWA drawings. @SpringwestArt @SpringwestA

Some lovely tag style names in our graffiti session today in art; beautifully talented year 9’s sad they are not all finished … if only we had more time 😅 @SpringwestA @SpringwestArt #graffitiart

Oh, how I love gratitude week at SWA! @SpringwestA the students have written some lovely things. Loving the appreciation 🥰

So pleased with our Andy Warhol inspired oil pastel monoprints which have come together to make a collaborative art display in the Year 8 corridor! @SpringwestArt @SpringwestA – at Bedford, England

What fun we had during assessment week this year! Year 9 were making mini matchbox installation pieces this time round. Well done to Weronika in year 9 for this lovely spider man themed piece. @SpringwestA @SpringwestArt – at Bedford, England

Well done to all the KS3 students this summer term who completed 2 drawings a week every week of the summer term. Check out the last few submissions this year: @SpringwestA @SpringwestArt – at Bedford, England
