Clear Spring School is a small private school in Eureka Springs, Arkansas with a unique curriculum encouraging hands on teaching with their students. Â From woodworking to enviromental studies, camping to conflict resolution, children pre-K to 12th grade learn together on 16 wooded acres near the Victorian town of Eureka Springs. Â The Artist-in-Residence program gives students the opportunity to work with visual artists, musicians, dancers and performers to create a communal art project and learn about techniques and skills in the making of art. Â This past fall, gallery artist LDDD worked with the children of Clear Spring School and with them, created a “Dream House” of bamboo where the children could leave their visions and drawings inside. Â Heath Piper, a renowned bag-piper from England,taught the children to make pan pipes out of the cut pieces of bamboo and taught them how to play on them. Â LDDD’s paintings and sculptures by John Stalling, Â inspired by the school’s surroundings complete the exhibit of the childrens’ work. Through March 21st
