Middle School Student Work
My TOYS unit took inspiration from the exhibit at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York) titled Century of a Child. The exhibit documented how in this century we became preoccupied with the rights, development and wellbeing of children in contrast to how children were viewed during the time of the industrial revolution when child labor was prevalent in America. Projects were inspired by Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, the Candyland board game, and contemporary Lego brick artists and we made pop art piggy banks and slinky-inspired op art.
