Since 1996, budding literati at local grade schools have
collaborated on a yearly exhibit of 10 art tomes. The
Wolfsonians One Page at a Time program presents the childrens
views on hot-button topics in creative, thought-provoking form.
This year the intrepid scribblers from the fourth through sixth
grades tackled issues ranging from global warming and pollution
to rampant consumerism and the relevance of music to history.
The resulting art volumes are confected from cardboard, plaster,
wire, organic plants, and a diverse arsenal of eye-catching
materials, with each student responsible for creating an
individual page. Participating elementary schools include South
Pointe, Dante B. Fascell, Southside, Myrtle Grove, and Edison
Park, as well as Shenandoah Middle Museums Magnet School. During
the program, students learn about specific topics such as
history, visual arts, and writing, as well as art books,
museums, and the interconnections between these topics, explains
