formulate ideas (which will be written down) on taking regular items and
creating art pieces with them, by displaying items in a certain fashion or
utilizing items to create 3-dimensional objective art. Once the team has

agreed on one concept, they will then gather chosen items to create
their 3-D display. Teams will also create a title and a one-paragraph
description for their display.
Then each student will personally utilize various types of paints and/or
drawing utensils to create a personal painting/drawing of the teams 3-D
art display, signing said art piece with chosen signature.
