Year 8 Pop Art

Year 8 Visual Art students have explored the vast realm of popular culture from the past and present-day and how it greatly influences our everyday lives.  Artists and their artworks from the Pop Art period of the late 1950s and early 60s were investigated and where objects from everyday life were used as subject matter in their artmaking. Students explored the idea of party food as a concept where they developed their problem-solving skills by transforming a drawing into a 3D form using a variety of sculpture-constructing techniques including papier mache. As you can see, these food forms are visually exciting and capture the viewers' attention immediately.
