The Un-Trite Challenge

It's been a busy start to second semester, between finishing edits on my book and teaching two new classes. However, a few weeks in and things are starting to calm down. I've finished my first lesson with Art 3 - the Un-Trite Challenge. I'm not going to go into details about the lesson because I wrote a whole article about it that will be published on Art of Ed this week (which you should read!), but, in a nutshell, students had to pick a trite symbol and make it feel fresh and original. I loved the lesson and was so impressed by how my kids responded!

​Can you guess the symbol each student picked? Answers are at the bottom. 

1. Yin Yang. 2. light bulb as used to symbolize ideas. 3. The corner sun!
