Young scholars research a notable painter and use his or her work as inspiration to create a functional light switch plate.  In this art lesson, students find an artist whose work is appealing to them to research and critique.  Young scholars then create a thumbnail sketch and a life-size drawing before using clay to create a switch plate.
