Aspiring da Vincis deck the walls
LOUISE BERWICK/Fairfax NZ
Lane O'Connell, 10, and Anahera Hore, 10, were part of a group of year six pupils from New River Primary School who had their art exhibition at the Children's Art Gallery.
Future Picassos and da Vincis have had their first exhibition.
The art exhibition for a group of Year 6 pupils from New River Primary School opened on Thursday at the Children's Art Gallery.
Their work hung among pieces worth thousands of dollars and the exhibition, part of the Children's Art Experience! Trust's work, meant the youngsters had the chance to have their art framed and displayed at the gallery.
Programme organiser Spring Thomas said the exhibition was an exciting part of learning.
The programme helped to improve student's confidence and allowed them to accomplish something they could be proud of.
She was impressed with the children's work and dedication throughout the programme, and said there were "definitely" some artists in the making.
New River Primary School principal Elaine McCambridge said the exhibition had been a big part of the children's learning. They designed their own invitations and were able to show off their art work to their family and friends.
"It's very exciting. Let's face it, how many people in their whole life get to see a piece of their own art work in an art gallery?"
For pupils Lane O'Connell, 10, and Anahera Hore, 10, the experience was unforgettable, they said.
Anahera said she hoped to be as famous as Leonardo da Vinci one day.
Estuary Visit hits the News

New River Primary School pupil Mason Smith, 11, paints a fish on an Elizabeth St stormwater to remind people to keep drains clean, watched on by Environment Southland education officer Pat Hoffmann.
Graffiti for a Good Cause
Stormwater drains get a spruce up
New River Primary School pupils are graffiti-ing the streets this week to help protect Southland's marine life.
About 24 senior pupils are taking time out from class today and tomorrow to paint stormwater drains on and around the school property with pictures of fish and "Rain Only" signs, to remind the public to keep drains clean.
Environment Southland education officer Pat Hoffmann said the children had been learning about estuary life and the dangers litter and oil in stormwater drains posed to the ecosystem, helped along by Environment Southland staff.
Pupils will also spend time at the estuary this afternoon, testing the clarity of the water against a stream they studied while on Borland Lodge camp.
Pupil Gabrielle Davy-Turner, 10, said she expected the water in the estuary to be dirtier than the water at Borland Lodge because more rubbish ended up in the estuary.
