I Scream, You Scream, We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM POP ART!

Time for a little Wayne Theibaud art lesson and our kick off to POP ART!  My students did great on this collage.  Here is the link for my step by step power point that I made for these pieces to use with yourstudents. http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/huskeyj72501-2134276-theibaud-inspired-ice-cream-collage/

   All we have left to do next week is our writing piece to display with our art.  We are working on FRACTIONS in math too...so the terminology used during our artwork engaged students in fractions as well.  We are also making predictions on how fast our ice cream will melt (next week's activity to go along with our writing when we go outside for art and ice cream!

4th Grade Pop Art - Burton Morris Style

 4th grade finished their pop art study with the artist Burton Morris.  This was a quick one day project for the end of the year with paper cutting and they did a great job. 

My power point how to lesson is here:

Lichtenstein Pop Art Portraits with Attitude

Excited about our new classroom cameras and our unit on POP ART this was a project that could not be skipped.  This idea was inspired by Ms. Lase's art room @ http://gmgart.wordpress.com/page/2/.  My students cut out a green poster board frame and I laminated the pieces for them to create their art on...it gave it a cool shiny look.  Then we hot glued their personality speech bubbles and they simply crack me up!  Below I will give more instructions and include my power point that I made for my lesson. 

                                 The students could use props and had to be creative in developing their pose that they would model for the photographer.  We discussed how their pose should reflect what they are wanting their caption to describe.  How fun are these?   

George Rodrigue's Blue Dog, Harry the Dirty Dog & 1st Graders

Ever wonder why authors and artist draw and write about dogs a lot?  Our first graders were intrigued and were on a hunt to see how many books and art they could find that were "DOG-gone" good! 

3rd Grade, Andy Warhol, and the BALD EAGLE

3rd grade at EAGLE Mountain just soared to new heights with these POP ART eagles inspired by Andy Warhol from his series of 10 prints of endangered animals.  We learned a lot about pop art and the pop artist himself.     I found this great you tube clip that Christie Neale made at: http://youtu.be/ulZ64VDhwXM
I LOVE it because the students have to READ the captions on the bottom.  The entire clip is set to a Justin Bieber song...so you should PREP your students ahead of time or they will focus on the the song and dancing.  You can also turn the sound off and just watch it silent.

 We did our chalk eagles on black paper with a glue outline that they traced with sharpies.
