Proud students and parents alike attended the year-end art exhibition held at HCN Art Studio in White River. The students exhibited their artworks created during the year and received certificates.
According to the owner of the studio, Hilke Nel, there were a few hurdles to cross when lockdown hit early this year, but she was proud of how her young students took to the challenge of online Zoom classes.
“This resulted in amazing artworks being created, while I delegated on the other side of the screen. At least the children could carry on without too many disruptions to their normal routine.”
