At Reynoldsburg’s Encore Academy, every class can become an art class.

 

Instead of producing book reports or PowerPoint presentations, students often illustrate concepts using supplies provided by a traveling “art cart.”

Recently, 16-year-old junior Alana Frey created a sculpture in government class of Mother Earth holding a book with the recipe for uniting a community. Art makes learning easier for her, she said.

 

“I’ve been creating art since I was born,” Frey said.
