1st and 2nd Art Noveau- Patterned Jewelry

For our decorative jewelry project, we studied broaches, hair clips, and necklaces from the Art Noveau period. We discovered that one way the artists created such beautiful jewelry was to repeat patterns throughout the pieces. We made a list of the several different ways pattern can be made: numbers, shapes, letters, sizes, colors, objects. Then, we designed our own jewelry to include at least three different types of patterning. Our necklace pendants were cut from clay using cookie cutters. Then we painted the clay with our base color and added our patterns with marker. We looked quite flashy once we finished our pieces and could wear them!

4th and 5th Pop Art- POPular Food Tiles

Each class voted on which foods were most popular to that particular class. Then they could pick one food item from their classes' list to design their popular food tile after. Critiquing several examples of pop art helped us come to the conclusion that our tiles needed to include bright and solid colors, a background that would make the food item pop, and perhaps some patterning within negative spaces.
