The master pieces

“Not only did our fourth graders get an opportunity to participate in a unique creative project, but they got to see how their individual creations could join together to create something bigger than themselves.  They loved how the project grew as their pieces fit together, and they were excited to know that kids like them all over the world would be adding to the great collage.  It was a wonderful experience, and the four framed pieces hanging in our school that grew out of the project will be a continuing reminder of this international collaboration.”  Vincent Dotoli, Head of School, Harlem Academy
