Grammar School Wall Graphics

The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) is renowned for its dedication to providing an exceptional educational environment. In pursuit of enhancing the visual and educational aspects of their premises, GSAL partnered with Hive.  Our extensive experience in creating immersive and educational wall art was perfect for this project focusing on grammar school wall graphics.

The collaborative effort between GSAL and Hive aimed to reimagine three areas within the school. These included two separate staircase areas and a school hall. The objective was to design and install captivating wall graphics. Not only to enhance the school’s visual appeal but also to enrich the educational journey of the students.

2. Staircase 2: Journey Through History: This staircase intended to transport students through time, presenting significant historical events and milestones. The design needed to encapsulate the essence of diverse eras while maintaining a visually cohesive design.
3. Hall: Celestial Exploration: The design for this space sought to ignite students’ interest in astronomy and space exploration. The goal was to create an awe-inspiring portrayal of the cosmos that would fuel curiosity and imagination.
