I’ve had some incredible artwork result from this year.
But during a time of unprecedented hardship, Sandwich Secondary art teacher Sanja Srdanov found that the work produced by her students has been incredibly deep and inspiring.
“I’ve seen the students’ art flourish more so this year than other years,” Srdanov said. “The reason for that is, I believe, it’s simply become more of art therapy for them. I’ve had some incredible artwork result from this year. “
Even when students were able to attend class, Srdanov watched as they dutifully separated and kept quietly to themselves.
“There is this low-grade depression going on,” she said. “They would be so quiet and immersed in their work and I think art was so therapeutic for them.”
