Students learned about the Loy Krathong festival celebrated at the full moon by making an offering to the river. They made 3-D flowers from paper which were combined with pressed metal to illustrate the temples along the Chao Praya.
'This project taught me a lot about art and festivals. I have learnt many different ways of making my art look better and more interesting. The artists were so nice and friendly. I had so much fun and I hope I can do this again.' Ellie Bull, Grey Court School
