Irvington's 5th graders have been learning all about Pop Art this year! Pop Artists created artworks that focus on pop culture, such as logos, food, and celebrities. So far, 5th graders have created artwork inspired by Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein (which I'm way behind on posting pictures of - sorry!). But most recently, students learned about Wayne Thiebaud and his dessert paintings. We talked a lot about value and how students can use highlights and shadows to make realistic, three-dimensional forms, such as the cylinder-shaped cakes. The students' spectacular cakes are on display in the cafeteria (where else?!) and no two look alike! Check them out if you get the chance - they're even more stunning in person! |
