bags of chips are lined up on the floor in front of a wall with framed pictures

What do giant snack bags have to do with art? They are POP ART! Eighth grade took a look at pop artists, such as Andy Warhol, and we discussed popular culture. Some times labels, such as Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, can be used for pop art. Eighth grade paired up into groups of two or three to create these giant snacks. Students brought in what ever type of snack bag they wanted to mimic. We used folding and measuring to try and match our snack bags. After painting the large paper we…

Zentangle Still Lifes What a successful project! We used Sharpie for our Zentangle backgrounds and chalk pastel for our still lifes. Focus was on variety of pattern as well as varied line thickness and value blending. At the beginning of the lesson, the still life image was projected on screen to allow for large classes to view it in detail. We also saved the image on our Edmodo class page for easy access anytime!

Using Deep Space Sparkle's Architecture Made Easy template drawing directions, we cruised through the beginning part of this work (I was gone the day the students started this and I came back to amazing results!). Color was added with a pastel chalk graded background, and a water-based marker bleeding…

My 8th graders art talents vary from amazing to down right pitiful. As a middle school art teacher, I do not grade on talent, I grade on the ability to follow directions, neatness, work habits and my expectations of their individual work. I make sure that they learn the concepts and techniques, but their execution of the skills might not always be as wonderful as I would like them to be. I am one of the few full time elective teachers at my school, and that means that not all of the students…
