Deyes Art Gallery

Last night, at Deyes High School, lots of visitors came to view our Art Gallery in the new W.O.W. building. There was a variety of artwork from our school, the Maghull Art Group, Micheal Treanor and some primary schools. We interviewed lots of people asking them if young people should participate in art activities, teachers from our school visited aswell, this is what they had to say,
Mrs Shotton (music teacher)
- I thought the exhibition was excellent and completely agree that young people should participate in all aspects of art and art activities such as making galleries, beacause it develop creativity and builds self esteem. my favourite artwork was all the art work from Deyes High and also the penguins that Deyes made, they were brilliant.
Dr Howard (head of the music department)
- I really enjoyed visiting the exhibition, it had a variety of different and was intresting to see. I think young people should definately have access to the arts because it broadens the mind, builds character and helps you be creative, it also opens your eyes to the world around you. My favourite piece was one of st. Andrews Church because it was memorable and very realistic.
