PUPILS' handiwork has formed an exhibition showcasing a spectrum of classroom skills.

The artwork from the Norton School, Stockton, has been created by youngsters aged 11 to 16 and is on display at the town's Arc arts centre.

The work represents the various skills taught during art lessons and is a general reflection of topics covered throughout the year.

The work of five GCSE students is are also on show and the school celebrates continuing success with art, producing 75 per cent A to C grades.

Head of art Graham Tomlinson said: "It is a collection of some great examples from our students.

"Year seven produced self-portraits based around a contemporary artist and also a French 20th Century artist. Other students created abstract work and another topic was computer-enhanced art."

The work by the pupils will be on show until January 6.
