What do giant snack bags have to do with art? They are POP ART! Eighth grade took a look at pop artists, such as Andy Warhol, and we discussed popular culture. Some times labels, such as Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, can be used for pop art. Eighth grade paired up into groups of two or three to create these giant snacks.

This was one of my favorite lessons from last year. (I feel like I always say that....?) But seriously, this was great. It would work for a variety of grades- elementary or high school as well. I did it with 7th grade and will again this year. Using the move-able figures- students had to create a zoomed/close-up composition using the figure, taking the negative space into consideration. I actually had them do a "photo shoot" with their ipads: take photos of the figures in different positions…

HeNRI MATISSE December 31, 1869- November 5, 1954 I began this unit on Matisse by showing the video "Dropping in on Matisse", then reading the book "Drawing with Scissors".

PICTURE IN A PICTURE (worksheet below created by Tabitha Seaton) (This is a new lesson I will be doing soon, examples coming…

Our complex color wheels are done! So are our color theory musical symbols with "vibration" lines. After two weeks of painting we need to do something else. It should be time for clay, or tin tooling or something! But, even thought I gave her my supply order 7 weeks ago, the secretary STILL has not sent it to the school district warehouse, the only place I can get art supplies with school money. So these projects feature a lot of drawing, pencil, marker and pen. We are out of oil pastel…
