PUPILS from Cowley High School were joined by former pupil Emmer Winder when they opened an art exhibition of their work at Cineworld.

Emmer (21) who is studying Interactive Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, completed a work placement at the schoo''s art department where pupils sacrificed dinners hours and break times to finish their pictures based on Andy Warhol's ideas and techniques.

She said: "I wanted to link the work of the children with a contact from the community and that's when my links with Cineworld began".

And Francis Lamb, general manager at the cinema, said: "I am extremely pleased to be showing this exhibition because it gets the kids interested and shows that we are so much more than just a business".

The Cowley High School art exhibition is currently showing at Cineworld.
