THE creative juices of budding artists at Pewsey Vale School were given a helping hand when artist Ian Murphy paid them a visit.

A group of GCSE students were given the task of using their imagination when completing the drawing and colour workshop using a range of mediums, techniques and processes.

Mr Murphy, who specialises in fine art, teaches art all over the world from the UK to Hong Kong to 'inspire, challenge and support'.

Head of art at Pewsey Vale, Kimberley Pallot said: "Ian has provided the students with an incredible insight into how they too can become a professional artist, how they can approach their own creativity, practice and approach to their artwork.

“ I would like to thank The National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies for playing a key role in enabling this opportunity to happen by financially supporting the event."
