Pupil Hillarie Rasalan, 10, of Oakwood Primary School in Leeds, looks at a sculpture made from items donated by playwright Alan Bennett.
Pupils at the school have helped turned rubbish into art by taking part in a special project that combines creativity with recycling and donations from the bins of personalities such as Bennett, actor Stephen Fry and disc jockey Chris Moyles.
Letters were sent out to famous people asking for them to delve into their bins and donate an item of junk to be used in a sculpture.
The exhibition of the work by the children at the school, who are all aged between three and five, includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, models, dance and special project work, a substantial amount of it on the themes of the natural world and recycling.
The project, at the school in North Farm Road, has been designed as a celebration of the creativity of the school's youngest children, letting their imaginations run free while also providing an outlet for their talents.
