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! 

We made SUNSHINE on a cloudy day

 

Found this idea at  http://www.teachingblogaddict.com/2012/05/end-of-year-art-project.html and fell in love with it.  We did this on water color paper because I did not have enough canvases for my class.  We used ribbon scraps for the rays of sun, instead of scrapbooking paper.  They are just super cheery and we have had TONS of compliments.  They are framers for sure!!!

Photography, Exercise & 2nd Grade Models

 

My 2nd graders took part in a  photography class with our new cameras we received from our Donors Choose grant.  I called it our photography workshop and they learned basics with our cameras.  If they completed the workshop then they were allowed to use the cameras to do this hilarious Photography ART project. 

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.
