  4. The painting was very calm and beautiful it was also very grassy and green it was very poor and old it was not that cold it looked rather sunny it was like I was getting pulled in to it. It was very tempting but i stayed out i loved it very much I would really recommend it.If in were to stare at a painting all day it would be this one.

  5. The area around Yerbury School has advanced a lot its more wealthy happy safe and most importantly generally happier its much better now.

  7. Old London is a nice jolly place with an amazing community.The surrounding is hilly and green.The massive area is full of busy people.There are loads of places to go site seeing.

  8. Cassidy: OLD LONDON
    It was very grey and glum also sad and dull. It was very calm and everyone would stay inside. All of the buildings were falling down because it was so very old. It was very hard work for all of the people.
    Phoebe: OUR AREA
    Yerbury is friendly because lots of people know nice other and everyone in the area is friendly, its quiet because its jot that bust but there are still quite a lo t of people there its safe because lots of people there are nice and friendly so they will keep you safe.

  9. It was overgrown with weeds,and tall trees made dark shadows over the small village.
    In the distance factory’s puffed out smoke,and the city grew bigger and bigger .Fields got smaller as houses were built destroying the lush trees and bushes that were there before.The cosy village was replaced by towering churches and fumes made plants wilt.

  10. Old London .

    Its white and fancy . But it smells of horse poo . You can here every one talking plus
    horses walking down the road . The rich and the poor do not mix . It is surrounded by
    fields .

  11. old London is really smelly and old it is as old as a dinosaur bone and is as smelly as mud
    and horrible and it looks like the buildings are going to fall down also it is dirty and poor

  12. the area my school is in.
    It’s old and quiet but big. It’s very jolly and has lots of people around.Their are tow playgrounds that children go to a lot after school. the hoses are big and beautiful.

  13. View of London from high gate
    The London painting had a lot of lush, green, grassy hills. It was very cloudy, but i think it was a lovely day. The painting only had a few people, but they all had something to do in the painting. The houses looked very old, but very cosy and nice.

  14. old London is dangerous because you could get kidnapped and robed and some poor people ask you for money.lots of people go to betting places.

  15. Poppy: OUR AREA
    Our area is a bit untidy, safe and also very calm sometimes in the summer it can get very hot and sunny and everybody seems very happy, we have an excellent community and everyone is polite and friendly.

    Honor: OLD LONDON TOWN
    The big city is now mouldy. The smoky, poor, anti-social, dirty city was worse than ever. The strange and dangerous city was too busy to even go outside. Pollution was trailing behind every person, car and mind. The quiet, loud, wild things were in every corner and every street

  16. old London looks very large
    and half green half city
    there’s lots of pollution
    and looks very doji

  17. i like the beautiful view and the field in the background. Also,the sky is so blue. I would rate it a 9/10.

  18. Hello. This painting is very modern kind of painting. I really am inspired by this mindful art. PEACE

  19. I see lots of and lush vast acres, trees and bushes and compared to my area it looks completely different in lots of different ways such as the air looks cleaner and everyone in that picture looks more social but now all you can breath In is really dirty air and everyones ANTI-SOCIAL

  20. This London is very dirty and most of the air is polluted.

    New London is very nice it looks so detailed

  21. We like this piece of art because it has nice greenary.
    Also,the grass at the bottem of the picture looks nice and i like it because it shows me about Highgate a long time ago .It is very historic.There are some down sides thought . I cannot some bits.Otherwise it is pretty.

  22. old London and new London are different because Old London is bigger and cleaner but old London is dity and there are no cars .

    1. I prefer the Highgate view more because it is sunny and peaceful.Also we compared the school view from the Highgate view.

  23. old London and new London are different because old London were no car and no trean.

  24. I am very inspired by your painting. I like the detail and the imagination. I would really like to see more of these wonderful mindful art work. Well done and keep on the great work!

  25. In your lovely picture, it was amazing all the diffrent colours they were beautifull. It made very happy.

  26. I think that the painting London from Highgate is beautiful. The reason I find it beautiful is that their lots of colours and colours make things POP! also London looks very different back then.

  27. new London
    new London has clever technology with cleaner streets and less crime
    old London didn’t have much money. new London the government rules more than
    the queen .

  28. MODERN LONDON:
    In modern London\new London there is pollution and in old London there was to but
    modern London has technology and AMAZING land marks to visit and absolutely fun places to go unlike old London there are dirty and lots of slavery work example,washing
    ,cooking , looking after family.New London has yummy food and branded clothes.

  29. Old London:
    Old London has no technology and people have ragged cloths. Although London was a poor city at the time there was much more greenery.

    Modern London:
    Modern London has more technology than Old London and people have clean cloths and has less greenery.

  30. Old London was quite lush and there was more more green space also it was dirty.What I saw was there was less glass the reason for this was because there was not enough materials to make it there were much smaller buildings .There were less pollution because people walked a lot more .You don’t see any electricity wires because they did not have electricity.It was so green that old London could be considered almost a country .true fact there are more trees in modern London than in old London .And of coarse people like monarchs had more power because the government did not exist then .

  31. new London

    in new London there are lots of shops food stores and and the food is much better then old London also all of the buildings are very tall there’s quite a lot of noise and cars. In part’s of London it is quite busy there’s quite a lot of space and also people take more care.

  32. mordern london has many parks but in pictures taken recently you can’t see them . it is polluted but cleaner than old london there are many land marks

  33. old london was very small and foresty and quiet. crime was common and punishments were severe. there were many rivers and streams in highgate. the streets were filled with horse dung.

  34. MODERN LONDON

    Modern London is polluted. This is because people smoke and there are lots of cars driving around. There are a lot more shops,taller buildings and sophisticated items. It’s very busy and there is not much country view as we used to have.

        1. Old London had much more clear air and no pollution. People would spend more time with their family because the were no phones

  35. new London; is still not safe. there has been so many crimes in new London & old London. new London is polluted so much! i think the buildings have grown and the place is more posh. and the city is more grey, 300 years ago there were less buildings and now there is smoke every where.

  36. Old London:There is dirt and grass every were there are pickpockets round every bend there are people begging on the street and mostly punishments are death.Queen and kings rule.

  37. new London and old London
    In modern London they have upgraded things like phones and buildings and most of all technology .In old London if you did a crime they would kill you or chop your hands of but now they have changed that and you will only go to prison.In old London buildings were smaller and now the buildings are taller

  38. new london is more puluted and it has more people living and the view from highgate is more harder to see because there more houses and more trees b the view

  39. OLD LONDON:
    old london is dirty, unhealthy and unsafe.The food is verry doggy and can make you realy sick.Most people are poor and unhealthy.the streets are are not clean either.

  40. New London

    In New London there is a lot of buildings,safe streets and a lot of tech.
    In Old London there was a lot of green land,smoking, and not many buildings.

  41. Old London: There is more bakery to make buns and cakes and there is alot of people who make pots and glassers.
    Even alot of poor people. there is also alot of dirty people and there is so many people and there is so many playing fields and more crimes happening.

  42. Old London:Old London didn’t have much money as the Modern days and was stinky,poor and crowed. Although it was stinky it had lots of lovely green spaces for walking. Sadly there was lots of crime and harsh punishments and lots of people didn’t have the money to buy fresh clothes.They also had a powerful monarch.
    Modern London:Modern London has now (compered to the old London) got lots factory’s
    which courses globle warming. Also London has now improved with better education and learning . We now have lots of clean cloths and bigger and better shops. Sadly there has still been crimes like in the old London .Our Government has much more money than the old london and bigger buildings are being built.

  43. I found this picture rather calming. However, I thought it could have been a bit more interesting by adding more people and being able to se the city clearer.

  44. We like how the person made look realistic and we new what was there even though we weren’t there.

  45. I like how the painting has all the details, I think the painting is magnificent and very pretty looking, to make it improved I think it should have more colour in it.

  46. I think it is very creative and it he put a lot of effort in it and I also think that it crystal perfect .

  47. I think that the painting is good because it shows detailed drawing. Though it could have been more interesting also it was a bit dull.

    THANK YOU!

  49. We like how the person made the picture realistic. We like how he made the view look so beautiful. We really appreciate your picture you have made.

  50. The painting was not very integrin and the mist made the city not clear. The sky was clear and as blue the sea. The houses was as brown as oak wood and the rocks were as grey as an elephant.

  51. When I looked at this majestic picture it looked nice but it could have less fields and have had a lot more people also we would want to see more of the city and more nature please.
