Artisancam is a website where you can watch lots of different famous artists at work and try your hand at developing similar projects. We worked with the artisancam project and a team involved with Paul McLaren to produce our Angels of Light, Angels of darkness work.
See video clips of our school working with Gemma Cummings (artist).We were part of large art project with our local school cluster developing work inspired by Paul McLaren.

What is Art?
This is a big question, however, one explanation would be to say that art is the way in which we can express our ideas in a creative way: painting, or sculpting or taking a photograph. For example, many great painters will try to get across important ideas in their pictures.
Please
let us know if any of these links are not working. Also a note of
caution for parents- all these websites have been checked rigorously by
staff. At school the school internet filters do not allow your children
to access inappropriate content. Home computers are more difficult to
filter and the internet is continually changing. Please supervise your
children's use of the internet even when using it for school work.
