Burgerman loves Broughton artwork
In the run up to the holidays Broughton High School pupils have created a giant Jon Burgerman-style feast for the eyes at the main entrance to the school.
A talented group of young artists was formed – S1 pupils Robin McGillivray, Rachel Moir, Aisha Maughan, Dexter Black, Bayley Glasgow and Keeley Muir worked alongside Advanced Higher pupils Harriet Johnston, Owen Morrison, Victoria Sturgeon and Rose Subido – and after being set the challenge, the group set about adorning the windows with a herd of reindeer and festive characters which have come alive in the sky above a rooftop scene.
They worked away together over a couple of weeks to create an ‘inspired Christmas doodle’ which has raised many a smile on the way into the school!
As well as the enjoyment that being involved in a project like this brings to participants, visitors and other pupils admiring the display, the artists heard that artist Jon Burgerman himself thinks it’s awesome and has actually retweeted some of our amazing artwork!
Oh, the joys that Christmas brings! Ho ho ho!

This is stunning work and a testament to the work of the teachers and the young people’s talent and imagination. We need to focus much more on the positives within our community – of course there are challenges but lets also celebrate loud such things. Congratulations to all – it is fantastic.
