5th GRADE--Pop Art Clay

The 5th grade students learned about Pop Art through a powerpoint. We discussed the importance of mass media and how Pop Art deals with art revolving around popular items. Each student had to choose a piece of food and draw thumbnail sketches of their piece of food from multiple views. We also talked about the three clay techniques that they could use which are slab, pinch pot, or coil. After the students were shown each of these techniques they had to sketch which techniques they would use to create their clay piece. After their clay pieces were finished they were able to paint their clay food in a realistic style to complete their piece of "Pop Art."
