7th and 8th Grade Art

We are several classes into our current Pop Art project. The students began the project by viewing a series of videos showing various pop art examples and learning more about the Pop Art movement. The students chose an object that held some meaning for them to be the focus of the piece. Some students chose their shoes, headphones, phones or made a selection from the classroom objects. The next step was to accurately draw the object, simplifying the lines and visual information to translate the drawing in a more graphic manner. In the following classes, color will be applied in the material the student chooses. Many have begun the color process and are using a wide variety of medium to color their work.
