Reference Images for Art Pedagogical Stools

Project 1: I plan to make laser cut art pedagogical stools with various artist's iconic work image on a round wooden plank. It will be glued onto a ready-made Ikea stool (below link) - to teach art history to 5-8th graders. 
I will change the found images on Illustrator into a Vector image so that they are clean. For Kusama's dot design, the yellow dots will become white so they are not etched. 

Project 2:  I plan to transform the step stools into mystery storage bins for my 5th grade students to enhance learning (attached MOMA educational lab pictures as inspiration). The mystery bins will be made using MakerCase.com. Various materials will be assemblaged onto the bin to reflect tactility and invite viewers to.
