Title: Clayton Pond Relief Paintings
Grade: 8th
PA Academic Standards For The Arts And Humanities: 9.1.8.A- Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works in the arts and humanities.9.1.8.C- Identify and use comprehensive vocabulary within each of the arts forms. 9.1.8.F- Explain works of others within each art from through exhibition. 9.2.8.C- Relate works in the arts to varying styles and genre and to the periods in which they were created.
Objectives:
Knowledge: Students learn about relief sculpture and the importance of space and depth within art.
Skill: Students learn how to create a sculpture painting using tack board, which forces them into a situation where they have to use scissors in a more specific and intricate way.
Attitude: Students learn to be aware of other artists as well as other art movements. They also gain more understanding of color and color mixing.
Prepare ahead: Gather visuals, former student examples, and information on color, Clayton Pond, Andy Warhol, Pop Art, and supplies.
Prior knowledge: Students have knowledge of color wheel and color mixing using paint.

Questions leading the students to discovery:
Today we will be looking at an artist named Clayton Pond, he is an artist who uses ordinary objects and with the use of color schemes he can make them more dimensional and exciting. Take this chair. The idea is pretty simple, but do you see how he uses opposite colors to create a vibrant contrast? This contrast adds another dimension to the piece. What are another two colors that would have high contrast? Purple and yellow, right, so they are opposite from each other on the color wheel, so if you are not sure you can always look back on the board and check. So you will be picking your own shapes and colors and painting them just like Clayton Pond did.
So who can remember a simple shape that Pond used? Right, a tennis racket, a chair, these are all good options for your picture. So think of simple shapes or objects you can use in your painting. Using contrasting colors creates the illusion of depth and space even though they are on the same plane. In our drawing we are going to be actually creating depth by cutting them out and layering them (this will make it easier to paint our simple shapes accurately).
So as another example I am going to show a better-known artist. Who has heard of Andy Warhol? Good, yes Warhol is more famous. Why do you think they used such contrasting colors? He did the exact same thing Pond is doing. This is called Pop Art. Why do you think this style is called Pop Art? During this time 1970’s color and vibrancy was really big and hip. Because like I said it is vibrant it POPS. So to give you more visuals, one of his simple shapes was the Campbell’s soup can, so in addition to substituting contrasting colors he also repeated his shapes. So repetition is another option to creating a visually exciting piece.
Demonstration:
So today we are going to be starting our sketches for our Clay Pond inspired relief sculptures. What I want to see is simple line drawings. No shading is needed. So just like Pond we are going to use simple objects and shapes. So you can use a glue bottle, or a pencil can, or a chair. Be creative. After you finish your drawing okay it by one of the teachers and then you can draw it on your tack board and then you will cut it out. After you have your shape you need to pick a color scheme. So think about your favorite color and then pick its opposite. You can also add colors next to it on the color wheel. So if you like blue you could pick red and orange as background colors to make your simple shape vibrant. When you look at these colors together them almost vibrate! It will be important to paint delicately so you keep clean and sharp edges so your piece functions as POP art.
Visual Aids: Clayton Pond’s work: Chair, tennis racket, plane, racecar, etc (see below), Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans and flowers.
Exemplars: Former student work and teacher’s example
Activity:
What will the students do?
Class 1: Learn about Clayton Pond and begin sketching shapes.
Class 2: Students will draw out shapes on tack board and begin cutting them out.
Class 3: Students continue to cut out shapes in tack board and begin painting them and their background page.
Class 4: Students will glue their pieces on the background page.
Supplies: 18x 12 tack board Paper, Tack board strips, pencils, scissors, tempera paint, paintbrushes, water bins, paper towels, and glue.
Vocabulary: Clayton Pond, Pop Art, contrast, depth, space, Andy Warhol and vibrancy.
Closure: What did you learn today? What will you do next class? What are two contrasting colors? What is one simple object either of the artists used? What is a simple object you can use?
PA Academic Standards For The Arts And Humanities: 9.1.8.A- Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works in the arts and humanities.9.1.8.C- Identify and use comprehensive vocabulary within each of the arts forms. 9.1.8.F- Explain works of others within each art from through exhibition. 9.2.8.C- Relate works in the arts to varying styles and genre and to the periods in which they were created.
Assessment Strategy: What assessment strategy tool will I use to evaluate the learning outcomes? Rubric will evaluate their project. Students will fill out a project evaluation sheet that will gauge their knowledge of the project, elements of art and color wheel.
Correlated Activity? (What art activity will follow) Students will continue using color as a key piece of their art. They will keep exploring color to receive more knowledge of its complexities.
Reflections: I feel this lesson is successful, because it focuses on color, which is a basic component of art. The students will learn more uses of color and how simple it can be to do. I like how the student scan use objects of their choice so they are close to them. This project really tests the student’s fine motor skills in all three steps. It requires them to simplify shapes and use line drawing, they also have to cut out intricate shapes, and then they need to paint delicately so their objects appear crisp, clear, and vibrant!
