1st Grade Cupcake Pop Art

Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes... who doesn't love cupcakes?

For a fun mixed media project, students in the first grade learned all about artists who use food as themes in their art as well as the Pop Art movement. Students loved looking at images of giant ice cream sculptures and paintings that made the desserts look actually frosted!

 

 

First graders created their own 2D cupcakes using a variety of materials. For our backgrounds, students created patterns using crayon and watercolor paint. We 'frosted' our cupcakes by creating our own puffy paint using shaving cream, glue, and paint.

These came out so delicious looking! Check out the student work:

Fantastic job, friends!!
