Southern Columbia High School's Art Club embarked on a creative journey to produce a collaborative piece of art that showcased both individuality and teamwork. Under the guidance of club advisor Mrs. Roulin, the students worked together to divide a large picture of a colorful tiger into 20 equal squares, with each member being responsible for recreating their assigned section. As the students finished their pieces and assembled the squares, they were amazed by the final result. What began as a fragmented collection of different approaches came together to form a unified, vibrant tiger. This creative display can be seen hanging outside the high school art room.
