Teacher Marty Scanlon gave his advanced art class at Helena High School an assignment to make a chair out of the material of their

The chair also had the word “false” written a couple of dozen times in pink glitter glue. Barros said she was trying to send a message about the unrealistic body image Barbie dolls represent.
