Artwork produced by Year 6 pupils at Whitnash Primary School is part of an exhibition by Arts in Warwickshire Education artists Emily Warner and Barbara Jones.
The pupils based their artwork on the theme of memories through a series of workshops, gallery visits and artistic explorations. The free exhibition - part of Warwickshire Artsweek, which ends tomorrow (Saturday) - also contains pieces of art produced by Warwickshire Enviro Arts Vision for Education and were created entirely from recycled materials.
Barbara Jones is exhibiting a multi-sensory collection of objects and ephemera in both 2D and 3D collages. Emily Warner's exhibit takes a more modern approach using a mixed media and audio experimentation.
Izzi Seccombe, the county councillor responsible for young people, said: "Warwickshire Artsweek is the biggest celebration of visual arts and crafts on our calendar and I'm really enthused to see our schools and communities taking part."
The work is on display at Whitnash Primary School in Langley Road until tomorrow (Saturday July 19).
