A PRP Visual Art student recently had artwork included in an exhibit at Norton Children’s Hospital that was featured on WDRB news. She was surprised to learn that her artwork was on display (and was very excited!) As her teacher, I was excited for her, because she was using her artistic voice to learn to cope and recover from an eating disorder. Art is so important in helping students suffering from anxiety, trauma, grief, and other life issues. The artist’s statements are very revealing in understanding what each piece means. The exhibit is on view through February 2023.
