A CONCERT held to show off students' artistic skills has unveiled a creative fibre optic sculpture.

Dari Taylor MP was guest of honour at Egglescliffe School's event and spoke of how she admired the bright, colour feature.

Months of projects and design plans culminated in the seven-metre-high creation, which saw 15 pupils take guidance from a local designer.

Working alongside Creative Partnerships Tees Valley, artist Barbara Agar brought a design streak to the school.

She said: "This project pushed the boundaries of my material and technical construction knowledge, the scale and expectations was a challenge I enjoyed taking about.

"Helping to energise young minds is always rewarding and Creative Partnerships brings new ideas and an invaluable alternative approach towards the delivery of the current curriculum."

Youngsters from the school, in Stockton, performed an array of music as part of the unveiling concert, which was delivered in front of the new light installation.

Ms Taylor said she was impressed with how the arts project brought together different creative elements as it managed to incorporate the subjects of physics and biology.

She said: "This has been a fantastic learning experience for the young students.

"The project represents the magic of education today and is a supreme example of partnerships in education."

The flat design implements an intricate use of fibre optic ropes, which energises and gives movement to the piece.

The fibre optic elements also represent the "veins of life" that pulse throughout the school
