7th grade paper engineers

I had the opportunity to attend the MAEA conference this past weekend with about 500 other art teachers from Michigan.  While there, I was able attend a workshop with Robert Sabuda, native Michigander and world famous Pop-up book artist.  He shared three pop-up techniques with us and I shared those with the 7th graders.  They are designing, engineering and creating pop- up sculptures and cards.  They are learning there is so much you can do with a piece of paper!  Imaginations are on fire today!
