It’s hats off to art

THERE is a creative buzz in the air at Perth Academy today when the school open its doors to parents, pupils and visitors for its Creative 08 art and design show.

The show, which was also open yesterday evening, showcases the talents of as many art and design pupils as can be crammed into the art department.

This includes class work, competitions and workshops sessions. It has the work of the pupils from S6 to S1 and some primary seven visitors’ work.

Andy Latto, head of art and design, said: “We hope parents and visitors will come to see the range of work that staff and pupils embark upon every day.”

The exhibition is open today 10am until 3pm.
