Creative Art?

Zach was given an assignment by his art teacher "to prove that he had all the required supplies at home that are listed on the class supply list." Zach asked if they could just bring the supplies in and show them to the teacher. The teacher told him that this was a creative art class and he wanted to see what project each student could come up with to prove to him that the supplies were indeed purchased and at home ready to be used. Zach expressed his frustration at this assignment to me. I suggested that we have some fun with it since that is what the teacher intended, I am sure. Here is Zach's finished project. He printed this off and turned it into his teacher. The teacher laughed and laughed and told him that was exactly what he was expecting; something creative, totally unique and very fun! (This teacher always has his hair in a pony tail with a pencil in it so that is what the pencil is doing.)



I asked Zach how he felt about the assignment after he handed it in. His comment was, "Make a silly assignment, get a silly answer."
