Our Motto in Art
“Art encourages students to be resourceful, critical thinkers and confident communicators who can work with respect, flair and purpose.”
Our vision is that Langdon Park School will be widely respected as a community school that offers students a life changing education. Our purpose is to inspire, ignite and unlock the creativity and imagination of every child and adult in our community.
Our Learning Culture is underpinned by four principles:
Professionalism
Inclusion
Pedagogy
Curriculum
This sample of work has been mostly collated from our Key Stage 4 students who have had many creative disruptions during their GCSEs. Students have chosen a wide selection of work to enter into this virtual exhibition. Many opting for preparatory drawings and experiments, highlighting the importance of the process in Art.
Due to Covid-19, many have felt the impact of not being able to fully realize their ideas and some have opted to develop new skills using digital media and are beginning the journey of working in a new media.

In the spring of 2019 London was forced to live life differently. Locked in and away from friends and family, year 9 students came together again to create these artworks, while reflecting on their experiences during the pandemic.
One project included in our exhibition was inspired by the trend of breadmaking we experienced in lockdown.
Students in year 9 were given the opportunity to relive this on their return to school in some workshops.
This focaccia bread was made with careful placement of the topping ingredients to link to the theme of sunshine and inspired by looking at artists such as Van Gogh.
Another project explored Cyanatone printing, a process which uses UV or sunlight to expose a photograph on chemically treated paper. These Cyanatone photographs and collages were inspired by students sharing stories of loss, reunion, friendships, and experiences of learning from home during COVID 19.
