Candy POP

My seventh graders and eighth grade elective class has been working hard on creating candy wrapper enlargements.  We spent our first class looking at Andy Warhol and discussing the pop art movement.

We then took Warhol's concept of choosing an ordinary object and turing it into art by adapting it to candy.

Students were given a choice of candy to work with and were asked to observe the wrapper and it's contents.  They needed to pay close attention to the font of the writing, the design on the wrapper and even the details on the candy itself.  They were asked to create a composition on a 12"x12" paper and use the square fully.  Enlarging either a letter, word or even detail makes for a recognizable picture without having to make the whole candy.  

 Stay tuned for the finished products!
