One of my favourite Illustrations from 'What Is Art?'. My latest book for children aged 6-11 that will be released on the 21st of April 2026! This piece is really close to my heart. Growing up in the North West of England, Manchester.

Our awesome Y6 have made these incredible clay busts. Children learned about the work of Mélanie Bourget, Thomas J Price & Willy Ramos. Their work is inspired by influences from Easter Island stone figures to characters from fiction! #PrimaryArt

P6 pupils have been sharpening their observational drawing skills with Irn-Bru cans 🧡✏️
Using pencils, they focused carefully on line, shape and colour, really looking before drawing. Fantastic concentration and super results!

I think the painting of the branch this kingfisher is sitting on is one of the best examples of watercolour I’ve seen a child do. It’s beautiful - look at the range of colours #primaryart #watercolour #thelostwords
So proud! Children in Y5 have used dry brushwork & acrylic to paint these beautiful compositions inspired by Hubble photographs & artists Lucien Rudaux, Chris Rivers & Cathrin Machin.

Love this term! We use The Lost Words by #robertmacfarlane & #jackiemorris to inspire artwork based on the beauty of nature. A term for patience, care and resilience. We look in detail and then super detail and it’s when children take a giant leap. #primaryart This is just the start! #thelostwords

Parting is such Sweet sorrow 🍭 Our final Y6 project completes those inspired by Spanish artists - Salvador Dali in this case - and the work of Sarah Graham 🍬🍭@MiniMastersArt #StJohns #PrimaryArt Acrylic on canvas 🎨🖌
Reception classes loved painting this collaborative painting using pallet knives inspired by Van Gogh & their literacy text ‘Katie & the Starry Night’. They were fascinated by the textures and shadows once dry. Can’t wait to hang it! #PrimaryArt
