Collaborating with high school students

What I enjoyed so much with this group I worked with in June 2007, was the project development. When we began the brainstorming for their group artwork, it was immediately apparent that they had lots of solid and ambitious ideas, and some quite different from what I expected. They took their chosen concept very seriously, and explored it from several angles.
The group developed a project based on water, with the goal of raising awareness about our water consumption and related packaging/marketing issues.
We ended up with a walk through experience, with informational signs along the way, leading to a hidden waterfall, made of plastic water bottles. This project was a great blend of research, writing, invention, and creativity.
