YOUNG artists have produced two scultures to brighten up their school.
The Year Five and Six pupils at Moorside Junior School, near Consett, spent two days with artist Keith Alexander to create giant sculptures of birds.
The pupils built wood and wire frames, then invited their parents to help apply the papier mache covering.
The school is one of eight in Derwentside and Chester-le-Street selected for the Forging the Future scheme, which was launched last Friday.
Run by The Forge - Durham and Sunderland's Arts in Education Agency - it will give children and teachers the chance to work on long term projects with the artist and art form of their choice.
Schools involved in Derwentside are Bloemfontein Primary, Leadgate Infants and Nursery, Moorside Community School, Moorside Primary School and South Moor Greenland Community Infants School.
