Online Week One: Imagined Environments

It is hard to visualize how a display of our artwork will look to the public- it is even harder to have to draw without looking at our finished sculptures!

In third and fourth grade, we managed to finish our pop art clay sculptures JUST before we moved into our first week of online school. The last part of the project is to draw an imagined environment for our sculpture, thinking about how we want visitors to see and interact with the finished work at a larger scale. We looked at the work of Claes Oldenburg to get out-of-the-box ideas for this.

I managed to get photographs of the finished sculptures on my last day at school, in hopes it would help students look at and record smaller details in their drawings. Here are a few drawings as a summary of week one, and a fairly straight-forward assignment. Stay tuned for next week and see how I attempt to teach collograph printing from home…
