MINI Monets and possible Picassos have been busy with their paintbrushes and created artwork of inspirational people.

Pupils at Chowbent Primary School in Atherton have painted pictures which have been displayed in an exhibition in the school hall.

The art event at the school, on Laburnum Street, was supported by Natwest and judges have selected a winner from each class to receive an art pack and see their masterpiece at the branch on Market Place throughout the summer.

Susan Heapy, chairman of the PTFA, said: “We’re very impressed with the standard of the artwork and are looking forward to seeing them exhibited at Natwest in Atherton.”
