Its amazing to look at a lovely picture.I like the brige.I wish I was a designer like you.
JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.
i think i am okay with this panting. it amazing art but too much hidden things so you must zoom in witch is annoying in my opinion but it is so detailed that it looks like a computer did it!I think it is a great replca of the old london bridge .i
I think that the heads on sticks looks a bit scary in my opinon. otherwise this is great art. by the way this is my true opinon.so pulling this toger it is amazing art and has more good sidea then bad sides! only 2 bad sides!this is the best art ever . this is my true opinion
Hi Sarah,
Hopefully you’ll be able to see the details clearer when you visit the House.
Ladies and gentlemen
Do you want a place to stay? The right side of the bridge is the perfect place. There are so
many great things. You can go to the theatres and to the Shakespeare play. You can have
servants do you a massage and do your work. You can relax all day! You can also have
free food. More freedom! Did you decide?
I Agree, With you because the right side is the best side! 🙂
I love but how did you found the and how do you drew a brigde
I like the painting because it shows what London looked like in the 13th century. I also enjoyed learning about the painting. It shows how different London was to how it is now.
Very true Max, I can understand what you mean.
I think that the painting of old London bridge was incredible! I like this panting because of all the detail. It was amazing to see how London look a long time ago. I enjoyed how the painter made the painting look like it was.
I think what you have said about this painting is true . I would have loved to have seen the painting in real life . It looks AMAZING. This is the best painting I have learnt about so far .
Live on the right side because it it luxurious and has magnificent theaters and houses
there is a little beach on front of the village and is an cheap easy to escape well there
is fire and it could burn easily because is wood.
I think right because there is more space a beach with shells and theaters with plays you want to see over and over again . I think the painting is very detailed and I can imagine being there.
You are probably wondering what side to go on Right, Left, Centre. Well right is right! It has.. Theatres, A beach And a Beautiful View. So now you must now want to go to right.
Which side shall you pick? You should pick the right! Why, because there are lots of theaters and they can be lots of fun. But if there’s a fire you can go into the water near the beach. Its glorious there!
Middle is the best because you can go fishing ,you can go into the water and you can have a great view of the multicolored sunset
Left, Middle or Right?
Left is the best
it has luxurious houses at the best quality. You will be safer from fire as it is made out of stone and brick where as the right has wood so it can easily burn. It is more wealthier. You have easy access to water. If you live on the right the water can easily flood your house as it is close to ground. If you live in the middle as the bridge is so old the bridge can collapse.
I like your use of rhetorical question to open your writing, Yuval.
Come live on the right side there are so many great things about it you can visit the theatres’ or go seashell collecting at the nearby beach the houses are made out of the finest wood and they are really cheap!
You should go to the left side because it’s very affluent and the houses are much bigger and better! The houses are also more sturdy and safe because in the middle the bridge could collapse at any time and also the houses on the right aren’t very sturdy because there made of wood.
You should pick the middle because it will be easy to visit the left and right and also you could dive into the river and swim with the fishes and many more things in the water. You can look at the water and see the beautiful view from the bridge and lots of people like bridges so make sure you pick the middle.
ladies and gentlemen , boys and girls I guess your looking for a house .Well I assure you that the left is the best . With plenty of luxurious houses and the beautiful view of the amazing river tames the left is the side for you . With less exquisite right side you could easily get a boat to their lovely theatres so get a house on the left side .
Ladies and gentlemen, Boys and girls!, I shall give you good reasons to come to the middle. It has Clean Air, You can play games, And Its more cheap!. So poor People have better chances to come to the middle! Don’t go right or left, STAY WITH MIDDLE!. Don’t go to Left, Because Its very Expensive and the posh people aren’t very nice. So I suggest you go to The middle. Oh, I cant forget the Right. There nice but its very easy to get set on fire. So I suggest to go to the middle!.
Middle is the best, because you can go fishing, you can go into the water and you can have a great view of the multicolored sunset and you are close to the theaters on the right
I liked the right side because there are less people their, you can have a easy wash there and you can go to the theater and also there is more playtime , the houses are really cheap to buy
LEFT IS BEST! I know you must be wondering what side to live on. Well let me tell you that I advise you to go on the left because there is bigger, sturdier houses plus you have more access to water and different places. There is less crime so it is also safer.
I think the middle side because you can go swimming and go fishing. You can play the game pooh stick and have a river party .You can look at lovely views.
Hi Tegan I love your writing because your being very persuasive! From Rannies friend
Choose the middle because if there any accidents you can jump in there water. and if you want to watch a film you could walk to the Right side
Hello fellow citizens’ looking for a place to live? Well here in the middle of the London bridge it has amazing features and activities you can have a swimming race in the river or play pooh stick with your friends’ so come today and buy a house!
LIVE ON THE LEFT
Facts
stone would not catch fire
safer than normal
easy to get to water
less crime
bigger houses
weather is more relaxing
i like the right side because the houses are really cheap to buy and you might also want to watch the theater you can watch how long you want. You have more playtime and the house are cheap to buy.
I like how you used the word magnificent it describes the houses .
Dear London, I see your trying to pick witch side well I insure you to come and head over to the middle plus you get the best view in all of them but also SWIMMING why am I exited? well its because its free and u can swim over to the other building, learn new tricks in the water. Oh and there is a nice game you can play… POOH STICK! its a nice game I can tell you throw a stick into a pond then run the other side and see who’s is the fastest so if you don’t understand its basically like running. Well then have a great time choosing ! 🙂
Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome to the magnificent left. Left is the best and right is stuck in the mess. I love the left and you should to because you can get a boat and you can put all your things and your most loved stuff. you could get a house and you can fish for your dinner because there is a river right next to the houses . hope you find a house
Choose the right side because its luxury with wooden houses and we have good police and nice homes.
THE MIDDLE IS BEST!
The middle is best because in the middle you can go on either side. In case of fire there is a river right under you can jump inside it and because it is water you can swim and also it’s water it cant hurt you!
Go to the left because it is very rich there so GO THERE NOW. Also a great place to be and criminal free
I think this painting by Claude De Jongh is extraordinary. It shows a lot of different features including the left side of the bridge, the right side of the bridge, and of course the bridge itself, and if you look closely, you can see a bunch of chopped of heads sitting on these sharp metal rods. I personally enjoyed learning about this painting because it looks so realistic.
HI Filip
Yes I agree with you a lot it is a very good picture indeed.
Hi Filip
I very much agree with your statement about the painting.
Hi Fillip
I totally agree with you . The painting is extraordinary
I like old London bridge because it tells you what it was like in the past. I never knew London bridge existed in the time before the great fire of London but now I do.
It’s really nice to look at the picture because it looks stunning and now i know what the Old London Bridge look like in the 13 centry
i like this painting because it show what Old London Bridge look like in the 13 century
Hi
I really like this picture it is awesome.
People don’t like going on the bridge because it is really narrow.
And there are houses everywhere
And I think it is really beautiful.
The bridge is a very narrow place but it would be a very peaceful place to live since nobody crosses it . I have to agree the picture is a very cool one .
Ladies and Gentlemen,Boys and Girls,Come and live on the left side if you want gourmet meals,Nice parks and Aquariums. If you want free room service,Lovely neighbours People who are good to humanity and things like that….Live On The Left Side!
How did the poor people get food?What times did the bell ring? ._.
(I think the poor people stole from the rich)
I absolutely love this painting!I think this is a magnificent piece of art work.I like how the painter decided to do lots of detail like making the heads on sticks in the back round which i think is very gory.It was so fascinating to see how the old London bridge looked liked many,many years ago before the great fire of London!And i’v learnt so much about what it was like back in that time by looking and learning about this amazing picture.And the painter made this piece of artwork look like its actually a photograph because it looks so good and spectacular that the first time i saw it i thought it was a photo!
I totally agree with you Isabella. It is sooooo detailed and realistic.
I also agree with you Isabella. The heads on sticks in the background are very gory and it is a magnificent piece of art.
I love this artwork. I love how Claude De Jongh used so much space to express the feeling of his artwork. I thought that he used dark colours because it was a dark day. I found it fascinating in the 13th century they put criminals heads on spikes as a warning sign
Thank you for the detailed response Louise. Yes, the heads on spikes is shocking.
Yves Klein
Blue Monochrome
1961
I chose this painting because I saw it at Tate Modern and I really liked it. I liked it because it shows me a painting doesn’t have to be a picture. It reminds me of staring at the ocean or the sky and It makes me feel relaxed.
Fascinating painting Terrance. I like it but some people might argue that’s not art. What would you say in response?
Some people might think that Blue Monochrome is not art because they think art has to be a proper picture. But I think that Blue Monochrome is art because anything can be art and anyone can be an artist.
This painting reminds me of the sea and it’s very interesting
I find this artwork by Claude De Jongh to be very interesting. The amount of detail, such as the spikes on top of the house to warn newcomers that those people are the criminals, is fabulous. He has put a lot of effort into this piece and I would say it is one of my favourite works of art.
I think it’s really good because it is realistic and it tells you what happened in the 1630s
I love the painting because it is really realistic and it tells you about what happened in the 1630s. The left side is the best because it has more luxurious homes and more bakeries than the other side. If you live on the left side of the bridge you can do more like visit the Tower of London. I found the heads on spikes interesting because I didn’t think that the heads on spikes would be in the picture. I can’t believe how much detail is in the picture.
I am sending a another comment because I LOVE your picture.I have always dreamed of being a designer like you.JUST BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL.
I really like the painting of old London bridge, it really shows how the houses were cramped together 36 years before the great fire of London.
The bridge reminds me of the old Roman aqueduct.
Overall I really liked learning about the old London bridge painting.

I indeed enjoyed learning about this piece of art made by Claude de Jongh in 1630 that was re-creating the 13th Century of London Bridge.
I agree with you Robert it is definitely re creates the 13th century
I like writing through art because it has two subjects at once! and it has paintings which can be split into three ones! and I think it is a very good creation!
Glad you’re enjoying the course Arun.
thank you
Are you thinking of moving to London? If so, you should move to the city of London.
Southwark is the most poorest place in London. If you a healthy life with money, money, money go to the left side. If you want to die quick Go to the right side. you know it’s right to go to go to left. LEFT RULES!
Are you looking for a safe secure house? Do you want a excellent view off the river Thames? then the city off London is for you! It is only one crown a month. It has the latest Tudor design made with mud and wood! though there are no bars or theaters it only takes 2 crowns to get an enjoyable ,stable ride across the Thames!!! come to the City of London today!!!!!!
BE PLEASENT NOT PEASANT!
Hi Ellie, this sounds like an estate agent selling a house. Very convincing. I like your last line and play on word. Just os you know it is pleasant. Thank you. M
Yes peasant or pleasant!
Are you thinking about moving to London Bridge if so let me tell you about what you’ve got to do here. You get more money than the peasants in Southwark and if you wanted to visit there theatres you could just use one of our most exquisite boats to go over there. You might even see the mayor out and about. We have the most extraordinary buildings ever and you wouldn’t want to live in Southwark because they are really poor and there land smells like a dump that’s how bad it smells our houses are also very stable so come on don’t blow your chance come over and live in the city of London especially because Southwark people barely have baths because they are so poor. Our houses are beautiful, to take our boats you just need to pay us 5 pence. By the way if you don’t like smelly places you wouldn’t want to go to Southwark. Anyway if you wanted to visit the Tower of London your in luck because it is in the City of London. We are also really wealthy, in Southwark most people just die of starvation. So make a really good choice come and live in the City of London. By the way before I finish if you do die in the City of London you would have the most wonderful funeral ever. Would you rather die or stay alive? I will leave that for you to think about.
Are you going to move to London then live in the left side of the city. Enjoy luxury houses, delicious food and only 5 cense a week for a fully trained servant. Away from the unpleasant peasants in Southwark . Want to visit the theater then hire one of the most enjoyable boats in London. You then need to hire a horse and cart as you don’t even want to go near the dirty smelly peasants in Southwark. Come to the left side of London now and don’t even be tempted by the hustle and bustle of Southwark.
.
are you moving to the right side? if you are you’re in luck because there are theaters , pubs and bars and there are the most fun things you could imagine. move to Southwark if you go to the left you will get rich if you go to the middle you will get your head chopped off if you do something wrong and your head will be on top of a house and some black nasty smelling Liquid poured on you and that is true
GO RIGHT !
oh and by the way remember don’t go to the left or the middle go right ok thank you
come live on the left side we have brilliant food the left side is richer and has better houses . don’t even start about the right side they chuck there poo out the window that’s why it stinks and if you do a bad thing only a little thing then your heads of boiled on a metal stick what about the middle you say if there was a earth qwake they
Hmm picking a side to live on well I can help you this is what I think. I think you should live on the left side because we are richer are houses are more modern and on the right it smells the building are small and dirty and don’t get me started on the middle there is no space the bridge can collapse and you can drown so come on to the left side the city of London. also if you like helping people in need you can give money to Southwark.
Looking for a place to live? if so, I’ve got a jolly good place for you! Come and visit London City, (the left side of the bridge) it won’t let you down. Not only has it got the best food you can dream of but it also has the most exquisite houses in Europe! If you come and stay you’re sure to have charming servants and get this, you only have to pay them sixpence every month! and if you’re tempted to go to Southwark because of Shakespeare’s Globe theater then stress not, just pay the people by the river bank to lend you a boat (I suggest you get the ones encrusted in gold) They’re only half a crown! But be sure to hire a horse and chariot when you get to Southwark as you wouldn’t want to go near those ugly little peasants from Southwark, oh and don’t forget t wear a gas-mask as Southwark gives off the most appalling stench. And while we’re on entertainment, I might as well mention that if you’re feeling down, you can always count on a good hanging or execution to cheer you up. The only thing Southwark has that we don’t is a few pubs where all you do is get drunk and then get thrown out.
i really like your piece of writing it is very interesting
Wow Edie! Brackets in your work. SUPERSTAR!
Are you thinking of moving to London Bridge? If you are looking for the best, move to the city of London. Southwark, on the other side of the bridge, is poor and home to peasants. London is wealthy and full of good people. The actual bridge gets flooded every few weeks. Do you want to get to know the rich and famous? In Southwark, people are homeless and die of starvation, on the bridge many people drown. It’s a simple matter of life or death. All the good of the world is in this city. Any kind person wouldn’t want their family to starve in Southwark or die on the bridge. Life is the best in London. Southwark is smelly, ugly and full of good for nothing peasants. If you die in London, you get a funeral, but on the bridge you get thrown into the water. If you think we are short of entertainment, you can easily get the best tickets for the Globe Theatre. To get across, we have gold encrusted boats of the highest quality. Make the right choice the choice of London. So many low price houses. Move to London.
If you are thinking of moving to London, let me give you some advice. Do you want to live on the right where the all the dirty peasants live or live on the left where you will be bored your whole life? Neither? Then the bridge is the place for you! If your on the right and you want to get more money on the left you will have to walk the whole bridge! But if you live on the bridge you have to walk half way! Also on the bridge you only have to walk half way! Also on the bridge fishing is easier.
Are you thinking about moving to London bridge? if you are make sure you move to the city of London because we are rich, wealthy and we have loads of people to keep you company. We also have the best houses just right for you! But be careful if you move to Southwark as they are very poor , have terrible houses , and have a creepy little hose with criminals heads on top of it. And don’t even get m started on the middle of the bridge as the water from the river splashes you as soon as you walk out of the door. do you want to be splashed with water every morning? If you want to live next to a creepy house with heads on it , get splashed every morning , be poor and live in a horrible house then Southwark and the bridge are the right place for you. But if you want to live in a beautiful home and have plenty of company ten move to the city of London.
I like this painting because of the detail he has put in it and I like the style he has painted in it.
Are you thinking of moving to the city of London Bridge. Wouldn’t you prefer a more rich and wealthy place. then move to the left side because Southauk is dirty and smelly
Do you want to live in paradise, if so come to Southwark. There is everything here . you can go to the beach and meet nice, friendly people. you can also see Shakespeare plays at theatres. Why live at the posh and rich side, they can’t see the plays or have fun on the beach. You can also get beach and lake side apartments so you will have a lovely view and you even have to pay to stay like the rich side. So what do you think move here today!
Are you thinking of moving then move to the fun side . Were William shake beard has his theater is. So come to the right.
William Shakespeare although Shake beard is funny.
Move to the city of London because Southwark is not the right place for you.
Have you been thinking about moving to London Bridge?
You should move to the magnificent middle because it would take less time to get to the left or the right side. Say you lived on the right side and wanted to walk over to the left side you would have to walk over the whole bridge, but if you lived in the middle you would only have to walk half way! You would also be surrounded by the wonderful sea air, and you can go fishing very easily.
Are you sure you want to live with dirty old peasants in Southwark?
Why would you want to be with very posh people?
The world isn’t all money. Is it?
Peasants, no.
Posh people, no.
So how about the middle?
Good use of rhetorical questions Amy and I like how you vary your sentence length for effect. The short statements work well as a conclusion.
Wow Amy I am very amazed of your work it is butifull! And it is fantastic!
come live on the left side wethyer better houses brilliant food don’t even start about the right side chuking poo put the window pigion poo every were even if you do something bad only alitter thing head of boild on a metal stick what about the middle you say if there was a earth qwake they would be drouning by now so the left side is the best we get fancy boats to fake is places so have you made up your mind good so were you gonna live well go claim that house
Move to London bridge. Come to the left side. There are best things ever like food, houses and many more so cone to the left side.
Do you like fun if you do come to the left side of the bridge it is called the city of London The left side of the bridge is were the rich people live .There are nice houses on the left side of the bridge because there are rich people on the left side. the right side is the stinky side.
I like this art because of how strong the reflection of the buildings and bridge on the water is.
WELL, AT LEAST THE WEATHER HAS NOT CHANGED.IT IS THE SAME DULL AND GLOOMY LONDON STYLE WEATHER :-}
Ha. Very true Alex.
I like Old London Bridge because it is very interesting and it tells you a story about who and what people lived at the time.As well as that,I like the fact that it has 3 areas and the rich lived on the left side in big houses and the poor lived on the right side in smaller houses.The right also had theatres and interesting shops.The colours are very dark and gloomy making me think the weather isn’t very good.
I really like this painting because it shows how life looked like in the 13th century. It is so realistic! How did he do it? Claude De Jongh is so talented. The heads on the sticks are really quite gruesome but so detailed.
I agree with you Amelia. The heads on sticks are gruesome and it is sooo realistic. Claude De Jongh is sooo talented!
This picture was really fun to learn about and also fun to see. I enjoyed learning about this picture and all of the lessons we did about it . I also enjoyed arguing with the other students in the class about which side was better. The painting is so detailed and I almost thought that it was not real! I love all of the small details in the background especially the heads on the small sticks. I still think that the left side is better!!!
Hello everyone! go to the right hand side you will see spectacular theatres, shops and beautiful viewing of the houses. Would you like to live in the smoky left hand side?
I really like this art by Cornelia Parker because it is very abstract
This piece of art is very interesting
I really liked this picture because it looks imaginative also it looks nice because it looks like a hose with a window open. Good job Cornelia Parker.
I am here to convince you that the right side is better then that rich selfish side.
You should not live on the left side because there are fewer thieves on the other side.
You should live on the right side because there is better entertainment like the theatre.
Cheaper things! More oxygen on the right. Good community. On the other side is mean.
Sara, I was thinking about the same question:
‘how did the poor people get food?’
It must have been really hard to live so close to rich people and to know that they eat so well.
I found the painting very disturbing because of the heads of criminals being displayed on stick for everyone to see.
I really like this painting because it shows you what London was like in the 1600s. I think it is interesting because you can see the poor side of the bridge on the right and the rich side on the left and you can see how different they were. This is a brilliant painting. I think that the picture has a lot of detail to it and that is another reason why I like it.

The heads on Old London Bridge. How often did they change these?
Someone died but seem rich to have a river funeral.
All the adjectives I can think of when I look at ‘A view of London’
I like this painting by Claude De Jongh it’s amazing. I could really see the differences between old London Bridge and modern London Bridge. But in my opinion I prefer the modern one because It’s more secure and their is no restricted rules.
Hi Ladies and gentleman, my name is Andrew and this picture looks very dull I really think that Claude De Jongh could maybe had put a little bit more emphasis into this.
Where is Claude De Jongh from I think he is from France but I don’t know is he?
From Andrew.
This is Future Andrew from the 4th of June
I think you are correct!!! 🙂
The old London bridge is a very detailed painting so detailed you can see a few heads on spikes. My teacher told us this and also things that they do to the heads to stop them rotting. Also you can see Boats in the river some are funeral Boats some are normal Boats. people used Boats instead of the Bridge because the Bridge was very risky so people often used boats.
I like this painting but when i print it it is so so BLURRY!!! But overall it is a great fantastic painting. This is one of the best paintings i have ever seen! Thats true alex the weather has not changed one bit still dull gloomy and rainy BRUH!
I like this picture because it is very old and compaclated and not much people have seen it .
I like this painting because it looks like an actual photograph. I also like it because you get to have a sense of what Highgate looked liked years ago. Its a really good artwork.
This is a marvalous painting because this shows a really good painting of what it was like in the 16th century. Maybe some people like me will like to live there and would like to live on the poor or rich side.
TEZ it is not art it is a blue square do you agree with me michael walsh.
What is TEZ?

Hi Freya
I think that it is so amazing to see what it was like in the olden days . I agree he could of used more color but he might not of used lots of colour because it wasn’t very bright in that time .
Hello people are you interested on buying a flat that has running WATER and the flat has TWO ROOMS. This charming flat is in the city of London and we have tall and stable buildings (so I recommend you to buy this house if you want to see the hole of London!) so come don’t waste a second call estate agents now! If you regret this you will regret it for the rest of your life!
I like this painting but the heads on the sticks is very disturbing do you agree with me .
I like the week 1 claude de jongh painting and it is ages ago in 1630. We were working on the painting and it describes how it shows you the areas of the bridge and in the olden days they built the bridge a long time ago.
I like this picture because it is a beautiful picture and the thing I like about this picture is that it is very realistic
