What to do with stacks of lovely, empty cigar boxes? That dilemma was solved when I happened upon the work of Ray Nolin in Provincetown, Ma., who paints beautiful impressionistic landscapes on cigar boxes. The middle school students have each selected an artist to research. Their research will go in the cigar box and a work inspired by or copied from that artist will be painted in acrylics on the lid. They began the research in the library and prepared their boxes with a coat of gesso.
