LEH Foshan is an establishment that recognises education as being more than just the traditional subjects. The school appreciates the value of the arts, acknowledges the confidence and modesty it takes to be a great musician, and admires the tenacity of the budding actor who will endure rejection upon rejection before achieving success.
Art, Drama, and Music are the three pillars of the Creative Arts faculty at LEH Foshan where we aspire to stimulate students’ curiosity and creativity, encourage them to explore their talents and passions and nurture future burgeoning artists.
Let’s follow the next divs of the article to discover the highlights of each Creative Arts subject over the last school year at LEH Foshan!
The Art department has had a fun, creative and successful first year onsite. Students from all year groups have produced some outstanding artworks and have demonstrated a wealth of talent and enthusiasm.
The art studios have been buzzing with energy and excitement; students have explored different art specialisms including painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and textiles and within those specialisms they have developed skills in, and experimented with, many materials and techniques and learned fundamental drawing and painting.

In addition to researching national and international artists online, students got to experience first-hand, seeing and drawing from local artworks when they visited the Nanfeng Kiln and Shiwan Ceramics Museum. In response to their research students designed and made their own ceramic sculptures.
We are very excited about the future of art at LEH Foshan as we nurture and see our students grow and blossom into confident, creative artists and art lovers.

Creative Arts Faculty
It has been wonderful to see the growing number of students we have coming to LEH Foshan developing their drama skills over the last year. In lessons, our topics and themes have been wide and varied: from re-enactments of short stories, such as The Selfish Giant, and investigations into issues such as bullying, through to explorations of design elements, such as lighting and set design, and performance styles such as Slap Stick Comedy and Commedia dell’Arte.

All students are beginning to find a greater appreciation of performance skills and the benefits of studying drama. We have had our own student performances too: year 9 sharing an extract from Sparkleshark, and year 6 and 9 devising their own dramas with the support of the Chinese Department to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Our first year culminates in a collaboration with the English department to produce Shakespeare week. The celebration of this famous playwright during the last week of the summer term is an opportunity to see how drama links across subjects and in all areas of the school, and it rounds off just the beginning of an exciting future for LEH Foshan Drama Department.
This has been a very exciting and fulfilling first year on campus at LEH Foshan. The school has attracted many fine, hardworking and gifted young musicians, and many concerts have been taken place by the end of this academic year. We now have a String Ensemble, the first group music making here at LEH Foshan. This marks the beginning of a long and exciting musical journey.

The seed of my vision of creating a dynamic and vibrant Music Department where there is a place for all students, whether beginners in Music or Music Scholars, is now in place, and I look forward to the day when LEH Foshan can be proud of its Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Ensembles, Prep School and Senior School Choirs, a Jazz Group and Big Band, and student-run Rock Groups.
I am immensely proud of our many musical students, and of what has been achieved in Music at LEH Foshan in this past year. Forwards and upwards!
LEH Foshan students’ artworks, music performances and short plays over the last year have proven their inner talents and potential in Creative Arts. We are looking forwards to seeing the very best of them shining on any stage and celebrating their future progress.
