While enjoying the “Deep Dive into Art” exhibit, viewers may notice an abundance of sea animals throughout the gallery. To include as many students as possible, each student was encouraged to decorate a sea animal to be displayed in the show. This is a representation of how students can blossom when presented with an opportunity and proper encouragement.
