Our fantastic art students have transformed a once graffitti-ridden underpass into a work of art!
The group have painted colourful sea-themed imagery on the underpass by William Turner Road, near our school.
Our Head of Art, Ms Hewitson, said: "We’ve had an amazing response from people passing by. Loads of people have stopped to say how much they like it, even a two-year-old girl with her mum! It’s been a big boost to the children.
“We all came up with it together, myself, my colleagues and the students and it’s worked out brilliantly. As part of our GCSE art course we run a project called Sea Shore and it’s all related to that, so it will help with their studies too. All the students are either taking art GCSE or have opted to take it next year and they’re all really enthused by this – it’s art made real to the public. We took inspiration from the sea because we’re Redcar and the sea is fundamental to us.”
Great job everyone!
