Pupils at school near Ripon shine in worldwide art festival
Pupils at Queen Mary's School between Ripon and Thirsk have created some artistic masterpieces as part of a worldwide festival.
The art students took part in the 2021 Big Draw Festival trying to reflect the themes of respecting nature, the world we want and reusing resources.
With such emphasis on protecting the planet, the students used materials like fabriano, natural forms, acrylic screens, posca pens, cardboard and recycled paper.
The Big Draw Festival is a worldwide celebration of drawing promoting the drawing as a tool for learning, expression, and invention.
