CHILDREN from St Anne's First School are hoping to wow visitors to Bewdley Museum with their colourful artwork.

Their pictures were created after the pupils spent 12 days working with professional print artist, Adrian Higgins, and were first inspired by Bewdley Bridge.

They visited the historic monument to look at shapes and patterns and used their sketchbooks and cameras, as well as rubbings, to help them collect ideas for their prints.

The school received a grant of £1,000 from the Community Partnership Scheme to fund the project, which aims to help boost the pupils' confidence.

Headteacher, Paul Jackson-Read, said the schoolchildren, aged six and seven, had enjoyed working with Mr Higgins, adding: "We wanted to share the work, as there are some lovely prints and it was based on a local theme."

The work will be on display at the museum until Tuesday.

Museum development officer, Ruth Finney, said: "The prints are spectacular pieces of artwork from such young pupils."
