MARIETTA - That Enrique Sanchez speaks little English is little barrier to stirring the imaginations of his students. <br> <br> Sanchez is an accomplished painter in his native Colombia, with his works published in a book and exhibits seen in Paris and Barcelona, Spain. He uses art to communicate to his class at the James T. Anderson Boys and Girls Club in Marietta. <br> <br> His students&#39; works -- from papier-mache masks to a wobbly legged lizard sculpted from green and yellow clay -- show the enthusiasm for art he has instilled in them. <br> <br> Sanchez moved to the metro area from Cali, Colombia, in 2000 when his wife became a teacher at the Atlanta International School. <br> <br> With two of his three sons on scholarships at Georgia colleges, 48-year-old Sanchez began teaching art full-time at the Boys and Girls Club in September. <br> <br> For Sanchez, the joy of teaching comes from the hope that he&#39;s nurturing great artists of the future.
