We are very fortunate to live on Lantau. The children can run free and experience the expansiveness of nature. On the beach we find everything we need for our art class: the sand is our canvas and using twigs as pens we draw a huge planet Earth complete with trees, houses, a school bus and a huge rainbow. Sadly we also find a lot of man-made waste in nature. It's composed of anything that floats: bottle caps, toothbrushes, drinking bottles ... the list is infinite. We use our findings to make all kinds of insects and fantasy creatures. "Why is the toothbrush on the beach?" asks one of the students. A very good question. It's a long story to tell...
