They are pretty awesome to say the least but it would also be pretty awesome to ask students (middle school and high school) to pick a character from popular culture and design some sort of "skin" for them. It could be a recognizable skin, like layering a Batman suit over Hello Kitty or bring in some art history and layer a painting over the skin. Juxtaposing a pop-culture figure with a classical painting skin would be cool! Making a connection to your students is one of the most important way to build trust and bonds within a classroom. Find things that are thrilling and interesting to them and making connections between contemporary visual culture and curriculum.
