This is an obvious favorite of my 7th graders. We begin this project by learning about Pop Art through a powerpoint presentation.
Next students practice their painting techniques and font styles:
Students are then tasked with letting me know what candy/snack is their favorite. I go out and buy them each their choice (that way they are drawing from observation, and they have something to work for, besides a grade)
They begin by sketching their candy in their notebooks. After their rough sketch, they jump right into the project! Each student is given a piece of paper that is proportional to their candy choice (anything from 18x24 to 24x36.) They draw with pencil first and then begin painting.
Although some of the paintings are not completed, I wanted to include them because they are turning out so well. At the end of the project, they are allowed to eat the candy/snack as a reward for their hard work.
