Art masterpieces on show in schools across Wales

Children in Wales have been getting up close and personal with some of the world's most famous paintings, not in a gallery or museum but in their own classroom.

Some 27 artworks have be exhibited in classrooms, accompanied by curators and security guards, for one day each as part of the BBC Your Paintings scheme.
