"It's a puppet guy, Puppet Master, from a show. He's just in the egg carton while he dries, it's not part of him."


"It's a germ, made out of clay, and he is in a cage."


This little sock softie was sewn by a second grader. "She's a girl, her name is sockie."


"This guy is made of fruits. I did it because I'm really hungry and was thinking about food." Of course, after I saw this, I was able to squeeze in a mini art history lesson about Arcimboldo. The second grader's eyes lit up when I showed him examples of Arcimboldo's work.


Another sock softie. These guys are just too cute, and the kids aren't showing any signs of slowing down. I'm impressed with their diligence, especially because sewing the button eyes on is very challenging.

  1. I am a 5th and 6th grade art teacher. Has anyone had success implementing TAB in middle school? I would love some feedback, experiences or suggestions.

  2. Hi Carla! Yes, there are many middle school and jr. high TAB teachers! There are many resources for you. I would suggest signing up with the TAB group on yahoo groups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TAB-ChoiceArtEd/ There is a wealth of information! It CAN be done!
