Thomas Jolyffe Primary School

Arts Week 2025

Our whole school Arts Week ran from 16-20 June 2025. Over the week, the children enjoyed dancing the Charleston with Darcy Bussell, creating comic book characters with Marvel artist Will Sliney, discovering the magic of poetry with George the poet and much, much more.

 

This year's whole school focus, for our TJ Artist of the Year competition, was self portraits.  The children looked at a wide variety of portrait artists as well as different genres before embarking on their own creations.  Every child had a canvas to work on, and they were free to experiment with a variety different mediums.

At the end of the week all of the self portraits were displayed gallery style.  The children thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the portraits and it was wonderful to hear them critiquing the images.

 

The standard of work was exceptional and we are delighted, as well as very proud, to share the children's creations with you. 

 

TJ Portrait of the Year Winner!
