I work with wonderful people who are always looking out for me and our department. A friend in the lunch room shared with me that they go through about 12 LARGE cans a day. They are recycled but she was wondering if I could repurpose them. After dreaming about cans for 2 weeks, I cam up with Art Soup. I asked students to fine a masterwork to dissect. They created a foreground, middle ground and background.I liked the end result!
Above is a short video of how I taught the kids to put the can together.

To display these wonderful works, I used boxes from my friends in the lunch room as well. The cans fit nicely in the boxes and made it easy to move and display them. They were a focus at conferences.
These are so great! What a fabulous idea!
