NINE Herefordshire schools took part in the Art Challenge held at The Three Counties Hotel.

Six pupils were selected from each of the primary and secondary schools and in groups of three they worked together on their painting from a selection of titles including: A Still Life of Sport, A Representational Painting of Your School or An Abstract Image of Your School.

On the day they were assisted by Kington-based artist Ronald Swanwick. The pupils worked really hard and learnt many new skills.

The work will be displayed in June at the end-of-year Herefordshire Excellence Cluster Achievement Event at The Courtyard.
