GCSE art students from Melbourn Village College displayed their "stunning and meaningful" work in an exhibition at Melbourn Community Centre.

Visitors who attended the private viewing evening were able to see not only the final compositions but also the developmental work in the students' sketchbooks.

Art teacher Sarah Heeks said: "The incredible creative art produced by MVC art pupils shows how valuable art is to the young.

"In difficult times, art allows students to be creative, overcome problems, develop resilience, express their dreams and use their imagination.

"The class of 2023 should be very proud of how they have expressed their individuality and produced meaningful and impactful work."

Fellow art teacher Samantha Ward added: "I am so impressed by the stunning and meaningful art produced by this year’s art students; they have showed creative individuality, and produced truly original work."

Both teachers said they were "delighted" to hold the in-person exhibition.

At the viewing, guests sampled canapés made by Year 10 students studying food and nutrition.

The show is supported by a virtual exhibition for those unable to attend in person, and also keeps an annual record of the artwork produced.
