6th Grade - Tunnel Books

After learning about Keith Haring, 6th grade created drawings in his style... and then made these awesome tunnel books. This project evolved as it went on as we loosely kept the true definition of a tunnel book - a visual book where pages are bond together with accordion folds.



Students chose a theme for their book - swimming, Dr. Who, dance, Harry Potter, Ninjago... and a few other ideas based on animated cartoons that I hadn't heard of, but I'm sure are really awesome as well.




A lot of great problem solving took place during this project as students worked through design challenges to creatively assemble their books. 

...We used a LOT of glue sticks and binder clips. 





We were happy with the results, they are each so unique. 
One thing I've noticed while they have been on display in the hallway is that as people look at them, they need to spend several minutes with each one to fully take in all of the different aspects of each book.
We like it when art makes you stop and think!!
