In this article, the author relates how he and his class outlined a plan for a public artwork project to be displayed in their community. The author discusses how he asked his students during the course of making the project to reflect on the following: (1) Who am I?; (2) Who are middle-school students?; and (3) What does collaboration look like? The artwork was constructed using collage techniques to reinforce a feeling of impermanence. The project featured life-size representations of his middle-schools students that could be moved, re-posed, and changed in context with each new location and/or arrangement. The author relates that the project was a successful one as it engages his students to reflect, deliberate, define, and construct.
