We studied the whimsical Pop-Art of Claes Oldenburg and read a funny and strange pop-up book Sam's Sandwich by David Pelham. Inspired by both, the students of 9C created realistic looking non-edible sandwich art using foam, paper, fabric, glue and even handmade frilly toothpicks.
The eighth graders’ have been busy working on their self-portraits
inspired by Andy Warhol. Individual photos of each student were
posterized in Adobe Photoshop for them to grid with
a ruler and enlarge onto a canvas board. They are mixing tints of
acrylic paints in bright colors for their faces and hair. The results
are sure to “Pop” with bold color.
