Here are some Year 7 Rowan Leckie inspired watercolour studies where pupils experimented with the different results that can be achieved on cartridge paper and watercolour paper.

First week back and the y10s have smashed it with beautiful work and in depth analysis!
Wow! Year 7! What an amazing start to your art sessions at XP. You have all been a pleasure to teach and I am sooo excited to see your skills in art get better and better.
This half term, we have been concentrating on ‘line’ and ‘mark-making’.
I asked pupils to look carefully at this artwork by Olga Gamynina and have a go at re-creating it. Look at this beautiful work!

Amazing work Year 7! Well done!
Amazing prints by X26
Really impressed with Y8’s prints from today’s art lesson.
It was lovely to see the enthusiasm and excitement of the students with this new technique.
We are back to school for a new term. Back to home learning and trying our best – having good days and bad days and just trying to get through and stay safe.
Crew EJN were ready for a break and a little time off last week. Luckily the weather was absolutely stunning!
This is what crew got up to:
Arthur went on lots of walks, met his grandad and took Dotty the dog for a walk and play. He had his first KFC in months (Its was delicious!) He went to Birkin fisheries for ice cream and a picnic and he saw lots and lots of ducklings. He also made a bug hotel for his garden by cutting lots of bamboo up and putting twigs around an old pop bottle in a plant pot. He also painted a pebble to say thankyou to the NHS.Â

Brandan went to Cleethorpes for the day (social distancing of course) and sat and played on the beach. He also went to his sisters for the day where they had a new pool and a 7ft dinosaur sprinkler called Dino.
Tammy built a bird table and found an old colouring book to colour in.Â
As well as being out in the sunshine, crew were still keeping busy with their home learning tasks.
Max has created some lovely artwork based on the artist Kandinsky
Crew EJN have also made a cracking start on their Visual Dairies for their new expedition called ‘Above all, compassion’. Here are their front covers

There is a website that has been created especially for this expedition to help pupils find the tasks that they need to complete and to give them extra guidance. The link for the website is here.
Keep up the good work crew and remember that I want you to concentrate on the most recently set tasks on google classroom and try to meet your deadlines. If you fell behind with the work from the beginning of lock down – that needs to be done after you finish the new work.
Take care and stay safe!
Another fantastic week for Expeditionary arts at XP and XP East.
So many examples of amazing work being completed by our students.
Thanks again from the XP Arts team.
Keep up the fantastic work!

I wanted to take this opportunity to to congratulate every single pupil at XP and XPE who has completed any of the home learning tasks over the last two weeks.
I commend your dedication to your education in this very strange time!
It has been an absolute pleasure to see your artwork and has really brought a smile to our faces. So thankyou for that.
I wanted to share some of the work that has been sent to us over the last two weeks – so it could make you smile too!
