YEAR seven students have filled the hallways of Boort District Health with colourful and lively cactus art. 
The Boort District School had the official opening of it latest art exhibition on Monday with parents, hospital staff and residents gathering to view the new display. 
Art teacher Nathan Sims said: “the students were learning about colour theory and mixing and tinting so we chose cactus as the theme to allow them to use those skills. They worked on the pieces in class during term one and now they’ve been framed and put on display”. 
While all 12 works featured a cactus, each piece had its own style and design that was unique to the student. 
Jan Lee said: “it’s so lovely to have the students here to show off their art”. 
While the cactus art is a new display, Boort District school have been displaying students’ artwork at the hospital for 18 months as a way to brighten the halls and to exhibit student art outside the classroom.
