A GROUP of schoolchildren from Middlesbrough have been turning giant canes into artwork, as part of National Children's Art Day.
The youngsters, from Keldholme and Coulby Newham schools, have been working with artist Lee Dalby, yesterday and today, to build structures out of pieces of bamboo that stand more than 10ft tall. Claire Proud, education officer at Middlesbrough Art Gallery, said it had been quite an achievement to track down the bamboo.
She said: "It's not something that is very easy to find, but we wanted to do something really special to celebrate National Children's Art Day.
"We had it sent from Brighton in the end. I'm very intrigued to see what the children will create."
