ARTY students at South Bromsgrove High School had the chance to polish up their painting skills when they met a working artist as part of Big Arts Week.

Artist-in-residence Kay Jones visited the Charford Road school during the national arts week. Head of art Nicky Taylor said: "Kay created fourteen murals based on botanical forms with the children. She also experimented with floating CDs on the school lake to photograph the light and reflections." Nicky added: "All the children found the opportunity to meet and work with Kay very exciting."
