YOUNGSTERS are putting their artistic skills to good use to design and make flags for the replica HMS Endeavour, moored in Stockton.

The pupils in year seven at Norton Comprehensive School, are taking part in the project as part of an Easter art festival.

Although most of the designs have been created by the youngsters themselves, they have also gained inspiration from several artists.

Graham Tomlinson, head of art at the school, said: "The flag designs are very colourful and vibrant and we are looking forward to seeing them go on display."
