Local school children have been putting the finishing touches to some unique artwork which will be displayed at the Whitby Christmas Festival this weekend.
Inspired by the Art of Illustration exhibition and the artwork, ‘The Very Lovely Pattern’ by Eileen Soper, Whitby Children from five local primary schools have been working hard over the last couple of weeks to decorate large scale snowflakes.
Pannett Art Gallery provided each participating school with a large snowflake design based on an illustration from the gallery collection. Plenty of space was left for children to write wintery words, their names, or include little drawings to create a lacework design.
Pannett Art Gallery has thanked all the Whitby school children for being so creative and helping to make the market look lovely and wintery.
The snowflakes can be found around the Christmas market over the festival weekend.
Chair of the Pannett Art Gallery committee, Councilor Linda Wild said,
‘Thank you to each primary school and to all the children for being so creative and helping to make the market look lovely and wintery. If you contributed to these artworks do come down to the event to see the snowflakes around the festival site, and to find your writing, drawing, or your name on the pictures. We will be delighted to see you there’.
These wintery decorations will be on display at the switching on of Whitby’s Christmas lights and the Christmas market on Langbourne Road,
- 5 – 8pm on Friday 15th,
- 10am – 8pm on Saturday 16th,
- 10am – 4pm on Sunday 17th November.
Schools that took part in the artwork project were Stakesby Primary Academy, East Whitby Academy, Airy Hill Primary School, West Cliff Primary School, and Ruswarp C of E Primary School.
