What does community mean to you? For our Saints’ Secondary Art Students, the answers are as diverse as the artists themselves. Through clay sculpture, drawing, and painting projects, students are communicating ideas of connection, support, culture, and belonging, using abstract, metaphorical, and realistic imagery. Every piece tells a unique story while reminding us of what brings us together.
