Young artists and their work have been put under the spotlight at Laerskool Die President.<\/p>\n

Between 60 and 70 children from Grades R to Seven created beautiful pieces of art which were exhibited at the school on Saturday.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Each child received a certificate for their efforts and the art was then judged by the school\u2019s art teacher, Leonie Venter.<\/p>\n

The top three works from each grade will now be exhibited at a Cheese and Wine Gala Evening Art Exhibition, this Saturday (September 12).<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The children will be awarded bronze, silver or gold medals once the art has been judged.<\/p>\n

The event takes place at 6pm for 6.30pm, at the school, in Astronomy Road, Fishers\u2019 Hill.<\/p>\n

The dress code for the evening is semi-formal.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the event is to celebrate young artists from the school by hosting well\u2013known South African artists to critique their works.<\/p>\n

Artists in attendance will be Steve Strauss, Mariska Meyer, Joe Joubert and Daniel MacDonald, who will also display some of their own pieces.<\/p>\n
