Pop Art! In the 1950s and 1960s, young British and American artists made popular culture their subject matter. By incorporating logos, brand names, television and cartoon characters, and other consumer products into their work, these artists tested the boundaries between art and everyday life. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the originators of this new pop movement. Fascinated by printed mass media—particularly newspaper advertising and cartoon or comic book illustration—Lichtenstein developed a style characterized by bold lines, bright colors, dot patterns, and sometimes words. The art of today is all around us. Roy Lichtenstein "America's Worst Artist Ever??" What is ONOMATOPOIEA?

Earlier this year, my co-worker Jayne found the idea to make a collaborative school-wide paper mural based on the artwork of Thank YouX. The idea for a student mural originally came from Jenell Novello and you can see the lesson plan write-up on Artsonia. She also so generously provided the lesson plan and templates on Google docs. Thank You X got his name by accident. In 2009 Andy Warhol’s spray painted portrait was spotted on a city street in L.A.. … Read more... →

This week, 4th grade started creating their emojis for our Pop Art emoji, project! What's more popular than emojis right now?? Each day they've entered the art room, I've been getting oooh's and aahh's when they see what they're going to do on the board, and even 5th has been asking when they get to do this! Here's how we created ours! Supplies Day 1: First I showed them what we'd be doing, and then showed them examples of emoji's on the computer. After I showed them how to trace, cut, and sketch them out, I demonstrated how to shade them like we did with our previous project that involved the Suns & Moons. For this project, I used 5 1/2 " pre cut squares, and a 5 1/4 in tracer to do the circle. I told them to sketch the expression lightly with a pencil, trace with a Sharpie, and color with Crayola color sticks. (If you don't have Crayola color sticks, I highly recommend you get some!) Here's a link to Amazon to check them out. Crayola Color sticks Day 2: I'll discuss and show examples of Pop Art, so they will see why we're arranging them the way we are! Those squares are 5 1/2" as well, and were actually leftover paper from anther project. (Waste not, want not! ) I colored these with Mr. Sketch markers, and I'll explain "Lawn Mower Coloring" to them, so their coloring will be a lot neater. Lawn mower coloring is just coloring in straight lines, like mowing a yard. After they finish coloring, they glue the pieces to a 12x12" black piece of construction paper. We like Tru-Ray the best! Here's some awesome 4th grade artists, demonstrating how it's done! Great job!

6th Graders did a really nice job on this project. We started off by learning a lot about the artist Roy Lichtenstein. We watched this video and read through this handout. Using iPads and computers students worked on editing their photo to make it in a comic book style. They drew from the image they created. I had to stress to them to draw what they were seeing and not what they thought it should look like. After seeing Lichtenstein's work, students set to work using only primary color markers (and black). They were to fill in some areas solid, and use Lichtenstein's dots in other areas. I had two very different types of students with this project; one group were the students who totally embraced the idea of using interesting colors on their face, and the other who were so self conscious about it they would work with their drawing on their lap so no one could see it. Even in this day in age, you know of the "selfie," many students were just so embarrassed to do this project. It was not because of the colors, but the idea of the self portrait. Do any of you struggle with your older students at the idea of a self portrait? How do you go about problem solving it?

I decided to turn a storage room off of the gym into a "Keller Cave." The lights were out in there so students had to use a flash light to go in and look at the cave paintings. The music teacher also made a CD with cave like music to play in the cave. It was a HUGE hit! The families loved it! Inside the cave (the flash from the camera makes it look pretty bright in there). We even hung a spider for an extra touch! I had simple art projects for the kids to make. Here I am shrinking their shrink-y-dink necklaces. Kids love watching them shrink right before their eyes!
