"This could be great for something," I thought. And, from those recycled packaging materials grew a tree -- a giant paper sculpture bearing leaves designed by each student in the school. Last year, we moved to the animal kingdom, creating a tremendous dragon, featuring scales designed by each student.

And this year...

Hundreds of students spill in and out of this giant creativity lab, making all kinds of discoveries, and all kinds of art. Kids naturally plunge into the creative process, understanding first-hand what it means to be an artist.
