Passport Project is Live!

Passport, is an Art Appreciation project, wherein the students are given a custom and customizable passport to take to 9 separate locations around the Lone Star College - Montgomery campus.  At each location the student must indicate the fixed position of that location answer a series directly related to the location and literally stamp there passport with a unique stamp and varied colored ink. 

At 4 locations stamps were not utilized.  2, contain a special pen to write the answer to a question, one location's question: find a unique word by using the letters of APPRECIATION.  The other to write the word CLASS in Cuneiform text.  1 uses a special hole punch.  While the remaining location has a special tape to adhere the "punchout" from the previous location.

Finished in 2 weeks, will update.
