1. Once students have taken their seats, the teacher will show visual imagery (ex.

PowerPoint) of sculptures by Claes Oldenburg and Matt Young and discuss

public art.

2. The teacher will lead an aesthetic discussion over work shown and discuss the

importance of an object in relation to size and scale.

gridded lines on their paper and how to find the quarter mark, half mark, and

three-quarter mark.

4. Each student will take one ruler, one pencil, and piece of paper back to their

tables and begin drawing out a grid of 1” boxes.

5. On the back of the paper, students will write the name of their favorite food, and

one sentence to explain why it is their favorite.

6. Students will begin drawing (landscape orientation) their food choice on the grid

filling at least one-third of the page.

7. Once students have finished their drawings, the students will use colored pencils

to color their work.

8. The teacher will instruct the students to go around the room and read the back of

their papers aloud while showing their drawing to the rest of the class.

9. The teacher will then pass out tourism magazines to each table and the students

will cut out an environment for their food sculpture.

10. The students will cut out their food and glue it to the environment.

11. Ten minutes before class is over, students will begin clean-up by putting the

materials in the appropriate places and putting their drawings in the designated

class bin.
