Welcome to The Art and Design Room

Step into a creative sanctuary where inspiration meets learning. We’re proud to offer GCSE Art and Design, Fine Art, Photography, and Textiles to private candidates, focusing on nurturing creativity, confidence, and individual expression.

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to Art for All—a core belief that everyone deserves a supportive space to explore their unique artistic voice. Small group sizes allow us to fully support each student's journey, encouraging personal growth while building essential skills.

Whether you’re here to develop your portfolio or simply explore your love for art, The Art and Design Room is a place where creativity flourishes, and students are empowered to realize their artistic potential.

From acrylic painting to bodice making. This is how my day has looked 💗💗

🌟 GCSE Art & Design 🌟

My current year 2 students are working incredibly hard on their personal projects! From crafting intricate props inspired by their favourite films to capturing the spirit of their beloved horses in stunning paintings—and even designing hybrid mythical beasts—every portfolio is as unique as its creator. 🎨✨

I cannot share their current work as it is ‘live’ so I thought I would show you another beautiful piece from Stans project ‘Into the Woods’ 💗. I am now taking names for January and September start. If you are interested please get in touch.

After it snowed here this week, it seems fitting to share this student’s incredible response to Andy Goldsworthy from the GCSE Art Class of ‘24. The photos on the right show Stan’s creative interpretations of the artist’s work.

Check out the image on the bottom right, where Stan used footprints to create the silhouette of a person and captured it using his drone! The sense of scale is amazing—you can see him lying in the snow next to it!

Stan received a level 9 for his GCSE Art and is now studying A Level Art @tutorsandexams

✨ Today in GCSE Art Textiles ✨

We explored the beautiful technique of free machine embroidery. This is where creativity meets movement by drawing with stitch🧵✨

I cannot wait to see the unique designs and textures on their bodices and lampshades. 💗

Olly’s surrealism-inspired art series had us all smiling at the quirky brilliance he brought to his A Level Art. With a blend of humour and surrealist magic, he created pieces that were unforgettable!. His hard work paid off with an A @tutorsandexams Coventry—proof that thinking outside the box (and maybe making it too) leads to amazing results!!!

I will be sharing more of Olly’s work over the next few weeks. If you are interested in A level Art or Textiles (yes Textiles… eeekkk)

Please get in touch with me at Laura@theartanddesignroom.com

My cheesy smile my students are all used to 🤪😂

Thank you for a wonderful week everyone 💗

I absolutely love this piece inspired by identity! This student really captured their model’s personality through layered textures and bold colours, all with a nod to Bisa Butler’s stunning use of pattern. It’s amazing watching students create something so personal and powerful @tutorsandexams

Today was sooooooooo much fun!!!!!! Messy… busy and full of smiles 💗 Sadly I forgot to get permission for photographs so I cannot share the smiles but I feel you still get a sense of our first in person workshop.

I ❤️ GCSE TEXTILES

Thank you @bulkvillcentre for having us xx

How beautiful are these!!!

Is anyone else a hoarder like me?!? I drive my husband crazy collecting random things. These were in a tin of embellishments someone gave me at school years ago!. I just cannot open them they are so beautiful 😂 💗 Luckily I’ve found my pins!!

I’m ridiculously excited for my year 1 GCSE Textiles tomorrow… cording… quilting… free machine embroidery… basic pattern reading…. Wooohoooo 💗

#homeed #homeeducator #homeedtextiles #gcsetextiles

I feel so lucky to be delivering a students ‘favourite lesson of the week!! A lesson they look forward to! 🥰

I never take for granted how lucky I am to work with your children 💗💗

Inspired by the beauty of nature and bugs, Bella created these beautifully intricate studies as part of her GCSE Art and Design portfolio @tutorsandexams

Each student is encouraged to follow their unique interests in their personal project, making every portfolio wonderfully distinct. Small group sizes allow me to truly connect with each student, building confidence and offering tailored support while fostering their creativity. ✨

I’m so proud to see such inspiring and individual work💗
I am adding a NEW GCSE Art group starting in January. This will be a combination of online and in person.

🐾 Betsy 🐾

For those who’ve attended workshops at my home, you’ll remember the gentle sound of my beautiful Betsy, the old pug snoring in the background.
Last week, I had to say goodbye to my dear friend of 12 years. Betsy welcomed many of you with warmth, love and the occasional stealing of your snacks 😂🥰

Thank you, Betsy, for filling our home with your joy and for so many precious memories. You’ll forever be a part of our hearts 💕

🎃 A huge thank you to everyone who attended my Halloween art workshop! It was fantastic to see so much creativity in action! We had a blast crafting recycled pumpkins, spooky tombstones, and, of course, making plenty of mess! 🍂🖤 Seeing all the unique designs and big smiles made the day truly memorable. I can’t wait for the next one!

🌟 This week, our GCSE students have been exploring the delicate art of watercolour. From soft washes to layered textures, they’re learning a variety of techniques to bring their visions to life. Inspired by watercolour artists, they’re finding new ways to express their creativity and develop their own artistic voices.

I’m so excited to see their ideas evolve! 🎨✨

Last week, my talented GCSE Art students dove into the expressive world of charcoal drawing! We explored different techniques, from bold, dramatic shading to delicate line work, using this versatile medium to create striking tonal studies.

It was amazing to see how they experimented with light and shadow to bring depth and emotion to their work. Charcoal can be messy, but the results are always worth it! 🖤

I cannot wait to see how they apply these skills in their upcoming projects. 👏

How cool is Jaspers Street Art!!

His trips to London and Birmingham sparked something amazing!! . The bold colours, urban vibes, and creative flair are unreal!
I cannot wait to share more of his pieces 💗

Jasper took GCSE Art @tutorsandexams this summer

At The Art and Design Room, we believe in the power of exploration. Here, students are given the freedom to delve into their ideas and express their unique creativity through art and design. From sketches to sculptures, painting to photography—our space is a haven for young artists to grow and discover their passions. 💗

Neve’s incredible work, inspired by the externally set task Garden, is the perfect example of this. We are so proud of her journey and creativity! 💗

Big thanks to @tutorsandexams Doncaster for their support!

GCSE Art student Jessica took inspiration from the enchanting world of Beatrix Potter to design her very own story book.
Her creation is nothing short of magical and I cannot wait to receive my copy or to share more of her work with you 💗

Thank you Stan for allowing me to share your incredible work 💗

GCSE Art Textiles - Level 9
Inspired by Pop Art

This student drafted her own pattern and made a skirt, printed her own T shirt, made her own head pieces, appliquéd a giant kiss 💋 belt, decorated the most AMAZING boots and then styled her work inspired by Roy Lichtenstein!!

How lucky I am to be part of this!!!! 💗

One of the best things about small groups is we can work with students to nurture and follow their passion. You can really see that here just in a small snapshot of Brontes work 😍

Another brilliant workshop @bulkvillcentre 💗

Thank you to everyone who joined me yesterday.

I’m wondering if i should do a Halloween 🎃 inspired Arts & Crafts Day…. Would anyone be interested? Xxx
