Punk Heads

Punk Farm by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
The Beginning Ceramics students are teaming up with students from Pond Cove!  The elementary school students are reading Punk Farm and creating artwork inspired by the book.  Punk Farm is about a group of farm animals that create a punk band and rock out while the farmer is in bed!  The second graders painted their own original punk rocker.  My ceramic students are taking these paintings and creating a punk head inspired by the paintings:




DECIDE: Choose a 2nd grader's band member




OBSERVE: Sketch the band member.


DRAW: Design your Punk Head
         - Start with an egg shape for the head
         - Be inspired by the band member, do not duplicate




CREATE: Make 2 pinch pots equal in size and attach them together at the mouths.  Create the skeleton first: make indents for the eye sockets, under the cheekbones, and mouth.  Sculpt clay and attach to clay head.  Work in layers: i.e. attach eyeballs first and then eyelids; attach teeth before lips.
