The Game of Life

Students were asked to choose board games that they thought personally represented them.  After selecting a game, they brought in "identity" objects that they felt represented them.  They were then to pretend that the game and its pieces came to life and interacted with their identity objects.  This is what 6th and 8th graders created.

 

 

Sandsculpting Competition

Esquisite Corpse self portrait

 

 

Students studied the artist game created by surrealist artist the Exquisite Corpse.  They created drawings - each person in the classroom drew different sections of it and then came up with a different creation.  They then took the same concept taking photographs of themselves and creating a piece of art based on their personal identity.
