Pop Art Ceramic Sculptures

 

Our Art Class Unit in Art Movements has taken longer than I'd thought. We created projects to align with each movement we studied: Fauvism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Expressionism, Precisionism, WPA Mural Art, and Pop Art.

For Pop Art we looked at the fact that Claus Oldenburg made sculptures of every day, mass produced objects. Each student hand-built an object based on something that would represent the time and place where we live, such as popular foods, shoes, or accessories. This was lesson that double dipped to cover clay techniques and art history, but most of all it was just fun!
