Art & Design update - October 2026

What a fantastic start to the year in Art & Design at In Toto Ed!

It has been wonderful to welcome our new KS3 intake and see creativity already filling the art room!

Year 7 have been developing their mark-making and drawing skills, experimenting with lines, textures and different ways of creating marks.

Year 9 have been exploring Contemporary Art, with a particular focus on Banksy. Students have been researching important world issues and creating their own stencils exploring themes such as mental health, wildfires and climate change.

KS4 & KS5 have been diving into our research theme “Playground vs The Museum”. Students have been developing creative responses through collage, clay and mixed media, building up exciting portfolios and gathering evidence towards their various creative qualifications.

It has been fantastic to see students experimenting, developing their ideas and finding their own creative voices.

What a great start… but what will next term bring?

We can't wait to see where their ideas take them!
