DRUMLEMBLE ART EXHIBITION

Young entrepreneurs from Drumlemble Primary will host their very own art exhibition in the school next weekend as part of a pilot project by the Scottish Executive aimed at encouraging children to become more independent.

Pupils in primaries four to seven at Drumlemble have been taking part in the “Rich Tasks” project, which is based on an Australian learning programme, and they have organised the whole event entirely by themselves.

All the preparation for the exhibition has been done by the children, from ordering the mediums required for their art work to organising the catering.

Councillor Dick Walsh, Argyll and Bute Council’s spokesperson for Community Services, said: “This is a fantastic project for young people to become involved in and I am delighted that the children of Drumlemble Primary School have taken it upon themselves to organise this event.

“I hope that people go along and show their support for these talented youngsters.”

The exhibition highlights the fact that art is not just about paintings and drawings, it can be almost anything. As a result the youngsters have also designed various other items, including t-shirts and walking sticks.

Throughout the art exhibition the school corridor will be decorated in a sea of red to help raise money for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day. All the canvasses and art on display in this area will also be red and all the money raised in this area will go to the charity.

The exhibition is open to members of the public and will take place in Drumlemble Primary School on Saturday 17th March and Sunday 18th March between 1pm and 5pm. Afternoon tea and coffee will be served by the children.

We were invited guests at this event last night and were very impressed by the whole thing.
The art is lovely and displayed very professionally. All in all it was a great evening.

I would urge anyone thinking of going over the next couple of days to do so .

Well done Drumlemble Primary - again!
