Corsino, Janet – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012

Horst, Carol – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012
A powerful thing happens when one object is placed next to another: A relationship is suggested and a visual dialogue of sorts is created. Sculptors and architects are especially sensitive to the fact that harmonious relationships between elements can sometimes be more interesting than the elements themselves.

Navah, Jan – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012
Kids love to build robots, letting their imaginations run wild with thoughts of what they might look like and what they could be programmed to do. Yet when students use cereal boxes and found objects to make robots, often the projects look too similar and tend to fall apart. This alternative allows students to "build" robots in a different way,…
