7th grade students created candy drawings that were inspired by a type of modern art called "pop art". If you are unfamiliar with the term Pop Art, it is art recognizing commercial items and cultural icons such as labels, advertisements, and movie stars. Pop Art is meant to be fun! Students picked their favorite candy and created drawings with bright colors and abstract expressions. Here is a gallery of more student artwork! After drawing, students watched a short video on some interesting facts related to the Butterfinger bar. This was a great way to show my students visually of how they could organize their writing. Students then researched and wrote informational paragraphs on the history, special ingredients and interesting facts related to the candy they chose for their artwork. (I will update this post at a later time to incorporate this work as well!) What a fun way to kick off the Halloween Celebration! ;)
Until Next Time, Ritchie

Would you please share this lesson plan with me! I have been collecting labels since last year and really excited to do this project with my students. I am a beginning art teacher, and could use a basic step by step tutorial or plan!
