Hanwell School Art Displayed
A group of students took part in a project learning about the Rivers of the World and had their artwork exhibited at a prestigious London landmark.
The 15 students of Brentside High School in Greenford Avenue, Hanwell, were linked with pupils from the Ferences Gimnazium in Budapest, Hungary earlier this year.
Following the link, two artists from Hungary came to the school to help the year eight pupils with their drawing and together, they created large pieces of art which reflected aspects of the River Thames and Danube.
They even boarded a boat from Westminster to Greenwich to get to grips with the River Thames.
The collection was displayed at the OXO Tower on The South Bank and the art work will also be displayed in Paris and Budapest later this year.
Mike Roddy, Arts College Director, said: "Our students and teachers were very excited about exhibiting their art work in such a prominent and prestigious setting.
"All of us are now looking forward to exhibiting again at the festival next year and continuing our partnerships with other European schools."
The event was part of the Thames Festival Trust in partnership with the British Councils' Connecting Classrooms initiative and sponsored by the Mayor of London.
