Crayola looking to return student’s artwork from the early 2000s

WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) — Crayola is on the hunt trying to track down a former student who submitted artwork to them in the early 2000s.

Crayola is opening their art archives hoping to spark new conversations about the importance of childhood creativity. In doing so, they are looking to reunite adults with their childhood artwork. Among the pieces being released is artwork created in the early 2000s at Park Elementary School in Warwick by a student named Samia. The artwork is titled, “Jungle Boogie.” it was part of a Crayola art program called Dream Makers.

If anyone thinks they may know Samia, Crayola is asking to help reunite her with her artwork through their social media page.

This is the first wave of art being returned and Crayola hopes to return all 1,000 pieces of art remaining in their archives from what was once one of the largest collections of children’s artworks in the world.
