Picasso Pop Can Portraits- More to see!

Today, one of our favorite projects was posted on the Art of Ed. Check here for the complete lesson plan and project description. 

This unique project is a lot like middle schoolers themselves- wild, fun and unexpected! Not only are students excited to bring an empty can of their favorite soda, but they love to crush the cans into abstract face shapes. This engaging lesson easily brings together multiple facets of art making: portrait drawing, abstraction, recycled materials, perspective, pattern, and emphasis. It’s a jam-packed activity that the students love. Check out our process and finished examples below!
