Ailani Crest, a third grader with a spiral sketchpad and kazoo in tow, discovers her pencil can sing: each instrument she draws hums to life. With her engineer cousin Fenric Hale, she builds tin-can resonators to amplify tones and learns drawing fundamentals—line weight, contour, shading—alongside the science of vibration, resonance chambers, and pitch. In a spirited "Sound Sketch Workshop," neighborhood children alternate between sketching instruments and crafting resonators, reinforcing both artistic and acoustic skills. Their grand finale is a vast orchestra mural that, when traced, plays a gentle melody—proving that art supplies and simple materials can spark boundless creativity and community.
