The artwork in the exhibition Art from the Heart produced by the students from elementary schools in the School District #22 often delights the viewers with their creations produced under the guidance of their art teachers. The students often portray the ‘world’ that surrounds them, or, in other cases, they reference directly their experiences through the language of visual forms. The uninhibited approach to their artmaking reflects the students’ natural inclination for a need to communicate.
