The 6th grade students learned about Claes Oldenburg and his giant sculptures. We focused on his food sculptures. The 6th graders were than challenged to create their own food sculpture completely out of paper.

Although this actual art piece is a woodblock print the 6th graders created their own version by painting The Great Wave.
The 6th grade students learned about Grant Wood and his painting American Gothic. The students also learned about parodies. They then had to choose something from pop culture and turn that into a parody of American Gothic.
The 6th grade students learned about printmaking. They each had to design a line drawing that they transferred to a foam plate. They then printed a series of their artwork.
The 6th grade students used clay to create an animal. They were required to create a pinch pot then turn it into an animal of their choice. The pinch pot could be the base, a bowl shape, or the mouth of the animal. The students created their animals keeping in mind to slip and score every piece of clay they were attaching. After the clay had dried the sculptures were painted with tempera paint.
The 6th grade students learned about the color wheel and monochromatic colors. They had to create a color wheel with the primary and secondary colors represented. In each of the 6 sections they had to use the tints, tones, and shades of a single hue. The students chose the theme of their color wheel. The 6th students learned about the artist James Rizzi. We discussed the characteristics of his artwork. In a lot of his work he uses bold black lines with bright colors, almond shaped eyes and upside down sevens for noses. The 6th graders created a self-portrait in the style of Rizzi.
