Dagwood Sandwiches drum up fun for Booth artwork college students

Artwork learners at J.C. Booth Center were treated to a deliciously enjoyment discovering opportunity last year, they just could not consume the completed job. Melissa Raymer’s 7th and 8th grade artwork students participated in a pair of sequential assignments planning and bringing Dagwood Sandwiches to lifestyle.

Though finding out pop art, the young artists had been tasked with producing their own Dagwood Sandwich, an impossibly tall multi-layered sandwich with odd elements from the common comedian strip Blondie.

To start with, they each individual concluded two sandwich sketches with at minimum 12 ingredients, one particular of which copied an current Dagwood structure and the other which includes substances of their picking out. Right after exchanging responses on each other’s work, they painted their selected design and style.

Next, came a collaborative ceramic sandwich. Each and every college student signed up to make just one ceramic component, and they had been assembled together to make 18-inch sculptures to be displayed in the media heart.

The challenge was this sort of a strike that Faculty Arts journal highlighted it in their summer 2022 situation.

Raymer hopes that the project impressed her pupils to discover additional about Pop Art, painting, ceramics, and visible artwork as a entire.

“The little ones were very enthusiastic about their paintings and even extra so about the clay sculptures,” stated Raymer. “Kids appreciate doing the job with clay!”
