Then I’m going to make my characters come to life in the 3-D printing class. Next term, I’ll take filmmaking to animate the whole thing. I have plans. I can do everything here.” Marwen Student, Middle School What began as a one-room art studio in 1987 now serves more than 1,000 young people each year.
