ART 8 students are turning to perhaps their favorite subject- food- as inspiration for our final large project of the year! Students were introduced to the large scale object and food sculpture of American sculptor Claes Oldenburg using the Prezi below. The Prezi is limited to allow for class discussion to go wherever it may. Students are allowed to create any scale sculpture they wish as long as they follow the "not-so-perfect" or "gross" representation of their food choice a la Oldenburg. Tacos, suckers, watermelon, Starbucks, cookies, Reese's cups, pretzels, cakes, cupcakes , corn on the cob and pie are only a few of the choices that ART 8 is creating! Scales range from slightly larger than real life to a sucker with a 2 foot diameter and a 6 foot long stick. Before going crazy with toilet paper, the students had to create cardboard supports and forms. We all now feel like experts on cardboard construction :)
