Geena Annop captures a resplendent Bush frog on a plant stem. Barely an inch high, these frogs rarely jump and prefer to walk along leaves and branches. A critically endangered, tiny-bodied frog endemic to the high-altitude shola-grasslands around the Anamudi peak in Kerala, India. #AGoodPlace

Class 5 created some beautiful observational watercolour flower paintings. Such confident use of colour and really thoughtful paint mixing. #ArtSTC #loveSTC @nsead.bsky.social @minimastersart.bsky.social @dalmain-art.bsky.social

Goodbye David Hockney. What a legend. His paintings blew my mind when I was a teenager, studying art. And they still do. Human creativity is amazing and he took it to an apogee.

They loved it! It’s taken the whole Spring term, from site trip/visiting Allies Morrison’s head office to see the model shop (with models worth £180,000!!) to designing & building. We had an awards ceremony for them last week! The details aren’t all captured in pictures, we had a working rail line!

A huge congratulations to our Year 6 students who have completed their re-imagined model of the South Bank. From design to construction, pupils collaborated with architects Allies & Morrison learning the process & considerations. Super proud of their work! 🤩 @darrellwakelam.bsky.social #PrimaryArt

Linked to the science topic sound and artist Fabian Oefner, Y4 have used mechanical and kinetic energy to create these beautiful paintings. Their favourite music literally created their compositions. Signed with their names painted as sound waves. 🤩 @nsead.bsky.social #PrimaryArt

Inspired by Nigerian Moderism and the work of Uzo Egonu, Year 2 have painted these stunning abstract compositions after seeing his work at the Tate Modern. Focusing on narrative,geometric shapes and the characteristics of modernism. Bravo! 🤩 @sophieleach.bsky.social @tate.bsky.social #PrimaryArt

Thank you, glad you are inspired! He’s a great artist to use & the children really love using the pastels. We did lots of sketchbook work using shape to develop the dinosaurs bodies. The skulls we did in steps. I would suggest doing skulls on white cartridge card, I think the results are better! 😊

It’s amazing how you get such an incredible outcome in a day! There is so much detail here, the texture on the brickwork, the windows, sky and clouds… brilliant! 🤩

Art @ Dalmain Primary School @dalmain-art.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Totally! When they had finished their final compositions a few started started drawing spaceships in their own cities to take home and then it started catching on, it got a few of my brain cells ticking 🤔🤩

Art @ Dalmain Primary School @dalmain-art.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

They really enjoyed the project and found it really interesting. They also went for the most complicated designs, I had done some step by step examples that barely got used. 2 of the children wanted to draw London from Mortal engines, really difficult! I would have loved this at that age too!

These incredible Year 3 drawings were inspired by Retro-futuristic architecture from the 1930’s to 70’s. Children focused on creating depth, perspective and tonal values. Super proud! 🤩 @darrellwakelam.bsky.social @artteachjess.bsky.social @sophieleach.bsky.social

It’s a brilliant idea and I imagine it was a structure they identified with. Architecture, me? What gave you that idea? 😂 I’ll be posting some retro futuristic architecture drawing next week, I’ll tag you I think it will be right up your street!

I really love the colours and textures. Brilliant all round Darrell! Fish eye lens images are great for seeing architecture in a different light too, these results are exciting to look at! 😊
