Description
This desk reminds you of clever playful
art. It makes you smile when you look at it. You fall for it's play on Honey I Shrunk the Kids theme
as well as admiration for gited art students who used humor to make the viewer feel good about the art they were viewing.
This belongs in some little persons bedroom, a children's hospital, an artists studio foyer, a graphic artist foyer, a
children's museum, an art store, a children's book store, or hundreds of other children's art places.

Artists Statement:
As a group we wanted to emphasize the importance of the education in the artists lives.
To do this compositionally, we augmented common art supplies and placed them on the desk. The supplies
were greatly enlarged to demonstrate their importance in the lives of any artist. We hope that this desk
will create a further understanding of the importance of creativity and responsibility.
