Loud on Paper Loud on Walls (LOPLOW) is more than just an art programme — it’s a space for young people to explore who they are, express how they feel, and celebrate what makes them unique.
Through sketching, doodling, comic art, zine-making, collage, graffiti, and mural design, participants turn ideas into visual stories that speak louder than words. Each session builds self-belief, teamwork, and creative confidence — helping young people who may feel overlooked or different to discover their voice and be proud of it.
We believe that art is a powerful form of self-expression and a tool for personal growth. In LOPLOW sessions, every line, page, and wall becomes a platform for young people to share their thoughts, identity, and imagination.
Because when you’re Loud on Paper, you become Loud in Life.

The spark that started it all. Pupils dive into comic art, zines, anime, and graffiti — bold, messy, unapologetic self-expression that ends with one epic collaborative wall mural.
Pop art meets graffiti. A vibrant mix of layering, collage, and mixed media where pupils explore emotions, identity, and self-expression in glorious technicolour.
A powerful project exploring personal boundaries, respect, and self-worth. Through street art and visual metaphor, pupils learn to ‘draw the line’ with confidence — and colour.
A cross-arts explosion of visual art, music, and street design. Pupils explore who they are, where they come from, and how their stories shape their community — creating art that celebrates culture, belonging, and pride.
