Sweets, sweets and more sweets

We've started salivating at the brightly coloured sweets we have in art.

We're photographing, drawing (and eating) sweets in the style of Sarah Graham!

Sarah Graham our Key Stage 3 artist

We've found this amazing photorealist artist and we love her work for its close up, bright colours and of course SWEETS! We'll post some of your responses soon.

 

 

Jenny Stolzenberg Shoe Artist

Jenny Stolzenberg's Forgive and Forget installation of shoes left by the victims of the Holocaust brings many thoughts to our minds. We think her work is thoughtful and as artists makes us think about our actions. For more information on her astounding work visit her website Jenny Stolzenberg

 

Shoe drawings we like

We've been busy with  our shoes out in Key Stage 3 and some fantastic line and shade drawings using pencil, charcoal, biro and fine liner.
