Armed with tissue paper, construction paper, wire, and art straws, our Teen Docents were asked to complete a Creativity Challenge during their training last month. Their challenge was to create a 3-D response to a 2-D work of art using only the materials provided to them. They were not given any scissors, glue, or tape, and they had a time limit of forty minutes. Their creations were quite impressive, and I hope you enjoy this peek at their finished products.
