Jar Art

Starting the "color" unit off this year, 6th and 7th grade students will be working with "jar art."  For inspiration, we will study snow globe artists Martin and Munez.  Students will look at the realistic scenes, from enlarged photographs, that take place in snow globes.  Students will use their own jars to create scenes within, both on the inside and the outside of the jar.  They will depict a scene that has some sort of connection to their own personal life.  Students will be using a variety of materials, including sculpture, natural materials, found objects, and craft materials.  This is what the 6th and 7th graders created.
