Ugly Dolls

My middle school art classes only meet for one term. It always seems incredibly short, and I try and fit in as many fun projects as I possibly can.

My sixth grade girls class was absolutely wonderful, so for their final assignment I decided to finally try out the Ugly Doll project that I hear other art teachers raving about. 

The original Uglydoll was made by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim in 2001. Their line of plush dolls has become increasingly popular and their designs are so unique. Kids love them! My sixth graders had a great time designing their dolls and sewing them together. Below our some of their final ideas. They turned out great!
