SCHOOLCHILDREN have been expressing themselves through art.

Last week year three pupils from Oldbury Park Primary School worked with their professional artist in residence Dave Gunning. Mr Gunning, a former winner of the British Arts Council year of the artist award, taught the children some of the techniques he uses in his own work. The project, partly funded with a grant from Worcester Arts Education, saw them go out on the school fields to sketch and draw in pencil. Their teacher Cathy Richards said the children had an unforgettable experience which will stay with them for life.
