Ingenuity

In the last few days and through December 18, Jonathan is spending hours grading papers and tests. He took a break last Wednesday to meet me for coffee at our favorite bakery (called "Sugar Fixe"!). He described an assignment for his freshman arts class where the students visited the Art Institute downtwown. To prove that they actually made the trip, the paper had to include a photo of the student standing next to a piece of art at the museum.

One of the better students accidently erased the photo that he had planned to include in his paper. Rather than make another trip downtown, which wasn't possible in the mad rush of final exams, he came up with another solution. His paper contained a photo of a painting, with the unmistakeable silhouette of the student reflected in the protective glass that covers the artwork!
