On March 2nd we officially welcomed local artist, Robert Strange, to The Freeborn Gallery. His work consists of a range of highly detailed colour pencil studies of grouped and squashed objects-all of which have a nostalgic appeal. Robert is a retired Head of Art so we are very much enjoying the opportunity to use his work for some high quality gallery-based learning for our classes. Students in years 7&8 had the opportunity to enter a competition and we have great pleasure in announcing the winners. First prize went to Alice Ley, second to Chloe Ray and third to Rose Bolcato, and we had three equally impressive 'highly commended' pieces.

Robert's work will be with us on display until the Easter holidays.
