This is the final, polished composition.

An earlier, less effective version.

Medium: clay, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, gradeschoolers, my sister
Edition: unlimited

My sster volunteers at her son's school as an art teacher. We devised a simple but effective lesson in design: the kidmade letters out of various materials, my sister photographed these, then I arranged them into a few compositions. Each version was organized better than the last, and each child was given copies of the final, finished piece. I for one, think they did some lovely work.
