Year 9 Reimagined Chatterbox – Part 2

In this art project, I asked my Year 9 students to reinvent the chatterbox. Based on their individual research, each student was required to transform this childhood game into a meaningful piece of art. With the innovative use of colour, texture, and patterns, they've engaged with a chosen artwork that is creatively encapsulated within the interactive structure of their new chatterbox sculpture. This project, aiming to foster creativity and critical thinking, has been an excellent exercise in demonstrating their understanding of various artistic techniques and the effective communication of conceptual ideas.
