Story & Reporting by Diane Roberts, WUSA 9

CLIFTON, Va. (WUSA 9) -- Imagine taking the sport you love and doing more with it than just being a fan.

That is a three-dimensional reality for Centreville High School art teacher Troy Hayes. Hayes taught elementary school students for three years before starting at the Fairfax County high school.

"I like working with the older kids ... I like seeing their progression," said Hayes. "When I started at Centreville I had never used a paintbrush. I was a big pencil drawer, that kind of thing."

Sometimes, when the kids are working, Hayes is too -- creating sports art. His home studio is where he does much of his work: taking gridiron heroes and putting them on canvas.

While it's hard to show on two-dimensional TV, Hayes' paintings are 3-D with bits and pieces protruding from the canvas.
