In this concise assembly of video vignettes, viewers are taken into the midst of a Massachusetts program called Very Special Arts. Program director Maida Abrams is shown working with several children as they explore ways to express themselves through painting, music, movement, and drama. In one sequence the participants turn themselves into jungle animals and interact with each other in character. Subsequently they conduct a "Me and My Monster" session in which they trace full-body outlines and draw colorful alternative identities. In the final section the children learn how primary hues can be mixed to reflect the entire range of human skin tones, creating a basis for exploring racial diversity and identity. (9 minutes)
