Americus-- Ever seen a Monet painting made of crayon pieces, or maybe a fireplace built with saltine crackers?
It's that kind of creativity that earned some South Georgia students a state-wide honor.
Sumter County Middle School students are performing a play they wrote and produced for "Odyssey of the Mind".
"Odyssey of the Mind" is a program for gifted children encouraging imagination.
The students took second place in the state competition earlier this month, earning a ticket to the world championships. 8th Grader Andrew Willard says, "I expect we will do really good. The team last year got 25th and I am hoping we can get better than that maybe even in the top 10."
This year's theme was "Fantastic Art." The students wrote a play about missing works of art and reproduced famous paintings for the set using shredded umbrellas and crayon bits.
The World Competition is at the University of Maryland May 29th.
