STUDENTS were able to show off their talents to the community - when they transformed their college into a work of art.

More than 400 people visited their 'Create' exhibition which featured art, photography, textiles, media and resistant materials.

The display at Northallerton College featured around 1,000 pieces of work from Year 10 to 13 students.

Head of creative arts Jean Lake said: “We wanted to show off every student's work so they could feel proud about what they have achieved.

“The college has been holding this for the past eight years but this is our most diverse exhibition so far.

“Students have been inspired by contemporary artists and developed their own ideas, as well as using art to explore life issues. Visitors were surprised and amazed at the quality of the work.”

A-level student Georgia Dearden, 18, of Northallerton, said: “It's a great ending to the course. It's really good to be able to show off our work to everyone as we have all worked very hard.”
