ASPIRING artists and budding designers of the future proudly put their work on display at the Dean Academy’s annual art exhibition last week.

Family and friends of the GCSE Fine Art and Product Design students were invited to the school to view their colourful creations.

Art teacher Kate Charles, who organised the event, said: “Our students have produced some really beautiful and striking work.

“They have worked incredibly hard over the last couple of years and have expressed their ideas in a great variety of styles which is lovely to see.

“The evening is a great opportunity for students to show off their work to family and friends and we have received lots of positive feedback from parents and members of the public who were really impressed with the standard of work on display.

“I wish them all the very best of luck for the future.”

The event was also attended by Lydney Mayor Cllr Brian Pearman who was impressed by the interesting range of artistic styles on display.
