Back in the 1990s I collaborated with sixth grade teachers on a Medieval unit. I played the "master" guild artist to groups of sixth grade "apprentices."

As stone workers, we created the centerings and then the arches for a cathedral's flying buttresses.

Students posed for a master "cartoon" which we transferred as stained glass window tracery; coloring our window with tissue paper.

As sculptors, we created a life-size gargoyle with duct tape and perched it on the school roof overlooking the entrance.
