Sketchbook coversEvery year students in my classes make their own sketchbooks where they keep their practice sketches, vocabulary notes, and daily warm-ups. This year our sketchbook covers were designed as illuminations of the first letter of students' names.
Pop Art PrintmakingStudents in 7th and 8th grade studied Andy Warhol, and learned about how he created Pop Art to represent the pop culture of his time. Students then chose something that represents our pop culture today, learned about the printmaking process, and discussed what these symbols say about our culture today.
Here is what students said these symbols said about our culture today...
"Sports related brands say that a lot of people are into sports." "Sports, technology, and food related brands. It says that technology takes up a huge part of people's lives today."
