An introduction to Pop Art and the large food sculptures of Claes Oldenburg, were the jumping off point for the middle school students to begin a unit on sculpting food. After a demonstration of the sculptural possibilities of working with water and strong toilet paper, the students sketched out a couple of ideas and began building their creations. Realizing that one key to success is using as little water as possible, the forms of bagels, pizza, fish fries and bowls of ice cream began to take shape. Once the proper form is achieved, the items will be painted and arranged on plates to look like the real meal!
