C r eat ive Pr o cess Student Publications Thornton Academy’s student publications showcase student artistic and literary talent on campus and encourage creative collaboration. INK, the student literary arts webzine, opens up new cultural experiences and interpretations of and for the TA community. INK’s Writing Section exists for those who crave literature and, more importantly, those who write it. The literature section shares the work of those who took the initiative and submitted their pieces for publication (see side bar). INK’s Art Section showcases the astonishing images - drawings and photographs - that come straight from the minds (and hands) of incredibly talented artists.
