In this article, the author describes 8 Tags, a project that she used with her eighth-grade studio art students to encourage them to come up with original and creative solutions to an assignment. She also wanted to incorporate their knowledge of the elements of art and principles of design. In this project, students were challenged to create an original two-dimensional or three-dimensional artwork that included the use of eight cardboard luggage tags. The tags could be altered in any way. (Contains 1 online resource.)
