Top piece shown created by Dylan Nelson gr. 5
What a fun project this was to tie in some Art History along with the celebration of love. I introduced Burton Morris, a contemporary pop artist who uses other master artists' pieces as his inspiration. Please be sure to view the website prior to showing students so that you can select which images to share. Some may not be well suited for a classroom. I explain to my 5th grade students the history of pop art and what it means, Morris continues the spin of pop art by painting other art in a pop art style! His website shows a wide range of his work. You have to check it out to get the full feeling of his work. This online gallery usually receives a lot of "Oooooo's and Ahhhhh's". I will have a full range of work posted by the 5th grade in the near future on our school's online gallery http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=8968.
