Big Ben is getting a Carnival makeover! Angel class discussed what it means to be creative today. We reinterpreted this famous building to reflect the vibrant colours and energy of the Notting Hill carnival! @theartcriminal @NSEAD1 @SketchAssembly

Year 4 artists at work! Angel class are learning to make architectural drawings, paying close attention to shapes, patterns and lines. Great maths language being used too. Can you spot the trapezium and the parallel lines? @SketchAssembly @Drawinglives @theartcriminal

A collaboration between Wyvil’s children, parents and carers! We looked at the work of African American artist Alma Thomas and created our own abstract collage: Happy Children at our School. 3 happy circles are the children! @theartcriminal @NSEAD1 @BHMLambeth
