SCHOOLCHILDREN became teachers for the day to help their parents discover their artistic talents.
The event marked the end of a project which has seen more than 100 children at Normanby Primary School, Middlesbrough, participate in weekly workshops with professional artists.
The sessions, started in September by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, covered willow weaving, papier mache and mosaic.
The children produced a willow structure in the school grounds, giant insects made from mache and figures sculpted from wire and plastic.
It was the turn of the parents this week when, led by their children, they produced sculptures, mosaics and willow structures of their own.
Headteacher Margaret Dale said: "The workshops have really helped the children develop their design skills and made them much more enthusiastic about art.
"They are rightly very proud of their work and also to be able to share those skills with their parents."
The workshops were organised by the council in conjunction with Creative Partnerships Tees Valley, which develops alliances with schools in the cultural and business sectors.
