Anchors A-weigh

This fabulous paper boat was created by S1 pupils, Rebecca Gaudi and Andrew Taylor of Lenzie Academy, East Dunbartonshire.

Complete with golden anchor, a colourful link metal chain, school flags flying high and a beautifully crafted figure-head of a bird, the boat is the lead boat in a whole flotilla which arrived from Lenzie Academy to join the fleet.

All the Lenzie boats are in the school's green and gold colours and make quite a spectacular collection. They were created by pupils in their art and design classes and the way in which the pupils are interpreting and adapting George Wyllie's work and themes is very evident and effective. They've taken his style - and his sense of fun - and made it their own in their almost-Viking boats.

Nice detail in the figure-head and the anchor. Excellent work, Rebecca and Andrew. What a great start to your time at secondary school. And well done too, to all the other boat builders behind the Lenzie flotilla.
