Pop Art Part II

Pop Art done digitally!  The iPads were a great tool to manipulate the pictures!  

Here are some finished Pop Art pictures by Fifth graders.

Fruit Face - the art of Arcimbolodo

Students hard at work creating fruit and vegetable faces

Fourth graders are learning about the art of Arcimboldo.  He was an artist that lived during the Renaissance that created portraits with fruits, vegetables, and flowers.  In art class we discussed what some people might have thought "normal" art looked like and how Arcimboldo did not create a "normal" portrait.  We analyzed how he would have made his portraits.  We then created our own portraits from pictures of fruits and vegetables.  Each student had to be creative with the materials to create a person.

Some of the creations from talented fourth graders!

Pop Art Technology

Fifth graders are getting ready to create pop art with their very own pictures.  We will be using iPads to take the pictures and an iPad app called "Be Funky" to edit the photos.  Fifth graders study America, so what better artist to study than Andy Warhol!

More to come!
