8th grade students were given a conceptual challenge for the altered book design. Students were to research and choose a concept that they would like to explore on a larger scale, and in return create a piece of art focusing on that concept. Some of the concepts that were chosen by students included nature, identity, time, uncertainty, and relationships. Students then each chose an old book that would relate well to their chosen concept. Some students chose the books based upon their titles, others chose the books based upon of the look and shape of them. Students then went to work producing thumbnail sketches of their ideas and how to incorporate their concept into their book sculpture. Students wrote artistic statements to complete their piece and describe their thought processes behind their concept. Below are some examples of what the 8th grade students created for this assignment.
