The Star Staff Reporter Tara Deschamps writes and article, The artist's view of Toronto's Divided City featuring Wexford Visual + Media Arts students and teachers...
When students in Lynda Hattin’s Grade 12 narrative illustration class at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts sit down with their sketchbooks, they fill pages with intricate works meant to land them an A.
It’s not often, they say, that they get to peer into their own lives thinking about the issues that affect their commutes to school, their babysitting gigs and even, the tumultuous treks their parents took to immigrate to the country.
But when the Star asked them to get creative and illustrate our Divided City series, looking at issues that separate Toronto, they rustled up innovative pieces using the paper and their own lives as inspiration.
