The Pepper Plants explored familiar foods in art and discussed and how how artists can be inspired by food. The students have looked at artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, who made art about everyday lunch food like soup and sandwiches. They then made their own imaginative drawings of what they ate for lunch, using markers and oil sticks on large-format paper. The Pepper Plants drew everything from cookies, to hummus, Coca Cola, and pepperoni!
Favorite Objects Observational Drawings with the Venus Fly Traps, Pepper Plants, and Beansprouts.11/15/2017
The students brought in a favorite toy or object from home. Each child shared that object with the class and why it was special to him/her. The students then used markers to make observational drawings of their favorite toy and then added watercolor paints.
The Pitcher Plants are working on a curriculum in art entitled “Art in Motion” which studies ways in which artists capture movement. The classes interpreted this experience by practicing figurative and gesture drawing with various drawing and painting materials, as well as drawing facial features and using their classmates as models.
