Buchanan High pupils help create new stained-glass windows for their school
The final product now adorns the building and is the perfect way to greet pupils, parents, staff and visitors.
Creative Coatbridge children have helped to transform the look of their school.
As part of their National art and design course, Buchanan High pupils were asked to come up with a range of ideas - culminating in a stained-glass window design for the two windows at the front of the school.
The final product now adorns the building and is the perfect way to greet pupils, parents, staff and visitors.
The pupils' creations are even more impressive given they had to follow a series of instructions.
A Buchanan High School spokeswoman explained: "Limitations of the brief included that the design was to be based on the Scottish company Timorous Beasties, and the theme was set as Flora and Fauna.
"The windows were to be divided into 10 panels - one for each student - and the designs began as drawings using pen and inks and continued as digital designs using Procreate on iPads.
"The fantastic final designs were realised by stained-glass window specialist Steven Graham.
"We couldn't be happier with how the windows look and congratulate the pupils, and thank Steven, for all of their hard, dedicated work."
