Stratford freshman Anna Durso works on her progressive painting in Mr. Casper Fredrickson’s Introduction to Art class on Thursday morning. These are drawings of objects slowly changing, such as a candle burning down, or a tree growing up. One student is painting grapes growing, while another is painting a baby in the womb. These creative paintings show distinct progression through time and let the students reflect as well. (Photo by MARY LYNES SUTTON. Reporting by KAREN JARRARD.)
