Student Activities & 1. As a class, we began by looking at and discussing Pop Art artworks in
Procedures my power point.
2. Andy Warhols soup cans and Wayne Thiebauds cafeteria-style food
paintings will be closely examined as I am trying to influence their style
with this project.
3. I will then demonstrated a few simple steps and rules for properly
drawing cylinders and ellipses, also in PPT.
4. Students have previously created basic cylinders so this will be review
for them. I will explain that it is important to closely examine the can
they have chosen, as we are trying to recreate the structure and value
scale of the can.
5. I will remind students that if the can is uncrushed it has parallel sides,
some will not. Also to make sure the curve of the bottom foot matches
the curve of the lip at the top of the can.
6. Once the basic details of the cans are completed, I will review basic
colored pencil techniques. I will demonstrate how to achieve various
effects through color gradation, pencil pressure, and by building color
through layering, mixing, and blending. Also I will mention to look at the
cans surface, making note where the lightest and darkest areas are
located, along with cast shadows and highlights.
7. Once the student is on the 3rd drawing I will work one on one with each
students to demonstrate to them the advantages and drawbacks of water
colors. I will show them how to apply the color in light and dark values
and how to create a round image by use of different brush strokes.
8. Then the students will be introduced to series of cans, they will have the
ability to use any medium previously touched to recreate the drawing 3-5
more times. Once the student is past 3 drawings, they may use pop
culture from Roy Lichtenstein to inspire their piece (Pointillism, or
Warhol to create their work of art.)
