Pop Art

PoP ArT

Lower school just finished up a unit on Pop Art. Students had a great time testing their understanding of the style by playing the game Pop or Not! I showed students a slideshow of famous art and they had to guess whether or not it was pop...or not! 4th graders practiced drawing three-dimensional objects by making Andy Warhol inspired soup cans:



3rd grade studied Wayne Theibaud's (pronouced "Tebow") dessert series and created ceramic cupcakes. The construction is basically two pinch pots; one for the frosting, the other for the base. We created the ridges by pressing the base into a rubber cupcake mold.
