ALMOST 400 children helped create a 3D piece of artwork as part of the Big Draw 2006.

Children at Warminster School and Warminster Preparatory School used charcoal, graphite, Indian ink and chalks to conjure up the 3D artwork, which was drawn with bamboo, rags and sponges.

The art was created over three days from October 10-12 and displayed in the prep school's hall.

Warminster School art teacher Louisa Clayton and prep school arts coordinator Maria Chambers helped the children with their designs.

Children from both schools also visited the Marks in Time exhibition being held at the Black Swan Gallery in Frome.

Pupils got the chance to look at abstract art on display and create their own pieces of work.
