Students create pictures and a school-art-gallery

Students of the BG/BRG Judenburg went on the mission to decorate our school. Many walls had been empty and had been covered with many pictures in vivid colours. Through the decoration of the walls students enlarged their horizon on realation to arts and studied new methods to paint. But also techniques for craftship were developed because they created their own frames.

The results were the following:

In the entrance hall a picture called „Cross-linking“ was created and a picture galery in the adjacent school building was installed.
