Why settle for this......

when you can have...... THIS!

THE EXPERIENCE AND REPUTATION
LEX JAMES, director of ART BY LJ, is also the creator of all the artwork seen on this website and is currently operating as the licencee and supplier of these designs to the NewcastlE, Central Coast, ACT, Northern and Southern NSW. For Sydney click here:

ART BY LJ is unique in the way that the creator of the designs will also be the same person that quotes your job and does your job -from beginning to end. Having the designer/artist actually doing your job allows us to adapt any game to suit your schools environment where needed, and it also allows us the chance to custom-make a design that may incorporate a SCHOOL MASCOT or LOGO, or a special/needs game for your school on request

ART BY LJ is celebrating its 21st year in the business. With over 700 schools transformed in NSW and ACT, combined with our teaching background and our commercial art background, we probably know your playground better than you do!

ART BY LJ is very well known around the school network and is the most recommended playground marking company on the Principal's Intranet in NSW.

All our lettering is all hand-painted and numbers and letters are done in lower-case NSW FOUNDATION -just the way you teach them in class-not sprayed stencils of capital letters and numbers with gaps in them.

You only get one chance at doing your playground right the first time, so don't risk working bee disasters or inferior artworks made up of boring yellow and white lines and games made up of circles for heads and straight lines for the bodies.

ART BY LJ's unique signature collection of designs are copyrighted to LEX JAMES and ART BY LJ, and are beautifully drawn in fantastic animated characters and are fully painted in rich and bright colour schemes that will transform the boring grey of any playground into an educational wonderland.

Our designs are more than just artworks, they are fully functioning teaching resources as well as great motor skills activities that give a whole new dimension to teaching and learning. Having our designs in your playground creates an outdoor learning area that can be used by students and teachers to learn so many elements of the K-6 curriculum like learning the alphabet, counting, reading, spelling and motor skill development, all while the children are having fun and playing. Each design comes with a play sheet that explains how each design can be used as a learning tool and a fun motor-skills activity for all age groups-not just the little ones.

We are also highly recommended by programs such as the NSW HEALTH'S LIVE LIFE WELL PROGRAM- having been chosen to help them do research into how these games really do make an impact on a school's playground, not just visually, but by creating stimulation that encourages physical activity and passive learning.

Even a Victorian university has chosen ART BY LJ's designs to be a subject of a study on how our stimulating artworks and games help deter bad behavior compared to those schools without our artwork.

However, with all these accolades put aside, ART BY LJ strongly believes that our reputation is only as good as the last job we do, so that is why we treat all jobs as important as each other and strive to make sure we leave your school looking at its optimum best even going beyond the contract to do so.

We want you to know everything that can affect the longevity and safety of the designs, so we provide a thorough SITE INSPECTION before we make any formal quotations so you can make an educated decision on whether your playground is suitable and whether you will be getting the best possible result for your money, because we want your job to be the best that it can be just as much as you do.

OUR APPRECIATION FOR YOUR SCHOOL'S ENQUIRY AND INTEREST

ART BY LJ really does appreciate the support and interest shown by you and your school by making this enquiry. Not only will you get a quality job for a great price, we would like to say a big "THANK YOU" by giving your school these FREE GAMES with any order made.....

You will get: A CLOCK GAME, TWISTA, TARGET, FRIENDSHIP SPOT and a free "SCHOOL PRIDE UPGRADE"

So don't hesitate any longer - Order today with ART by LJ

I guarantee that with the results we can achieve for you and your school's playground, it will definitely be "worth the wait!"
