SCHOOLCHILDREN combined art and history to create a display piece for Southampton’s new Sea City museum.
The city council invited Wellow Primary School to put together a picture of the Titanic for one of the education rooms at the attraction ahead of its opening next year.
Kerry Somers, history leader at the school, said the 10- and 11-year-olds jumped at the chance to create the exhibit.
“They were really proud of what they’d done and wanted to show their parents,” she said.
The picture was designed by Becks Porter, of Hampshire Art Workshops, to be completed in stages.
Joanna Watson, learning officer for the city council, has been involving schools in different projects ahead of the museum’s opening in April to coincide with the centenary commemorations on the sinking of the ship.
