Students use art to tackle important issues

FOX VALLEY, Illinois - Fox Valley area students offered their take on important issues through art at an exhibition in Batavia.

"I think the biggest issues we face today are suicide and depression," says Tyler Magnuson, 17, of Aurora. "I like the concept of people expressing themselves through art rather than words."

Students representing a number of area school districts displayed work recently at Water Street Studios as part of an awareness campaign sponsored by Kane County Juvenile Justice Council.
