SNAPSHOTS
Student Artworks
from “Trash to Treasure”
In this issue, high-school art teacher Kathleen Sneed Petka shares her Trash to Treasure challenge, an activity to inspire students to reuse materials and to find the beauty in everyday items. Kathleen shared with SchoolArts that the Trash to Treasure challenge is her students’ favorite project, and she teaches it every year.
