MORE ART HISTORY!

#15 Claes Oldenburg (b. 1929)

4/27/2018

Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything (Dual Hamburgers) 1962
Burlap soaked in plaster, painted with enamel
7 x 14 3/4 x 8 5/8" (17.8 x 37.5 x 21.8 cm)     
In the spirit of Claes Oldenburg, you will be making a 3 dimensional, clay sculpture that is related to the general themes of Pop Art - and to your painting, specifically.

Oldenburg drew numerous preliminary sketches for his sculptures - so you should do the same.  Since your sculpture will be in-the-round, sketch what you envision it will look like from all angles, as in the thumbnails below (if your sculpture was an ear bud or a flash drive). THINK AND DRAW:
  • What sculptural object can relate to your painting? ("relates" means that it won't necessarily be a replica of your painting's exact subject) - remember, it is always better to brainstorm more than one idea!
  • Oldenburg said that food had "architecture" and "structure." How can this concept help you to develop the form that you will sculpt? Think about your sculpture as "architecture" ..... you will have to build it - how?
  • Should your sculpture be created in separate parts (as in the sandwich shown in the video)? Why? How? Or will you sculpt/attach details onto the outer edges of a basic form (sphere or cube, for example)? 
  • Use your study of linear perspective help you to draw the most accurate thumbnails of your sculptural ideas? If stuck - draw the box into which your sculpture can fit! Envision the positive and the negative space and use this to help your drawing. 
  • KEEP IT SIMPLE - clay sculptures need to be sturdy and compact AND you will be making this sculpture in a matter of hours.

FIRST: Watch this video and take notes so that you can review some basic facts and characteristics of Pop Art:
Then, watch the following videos/take notes to continue building cumulative knowledge about Warhol and his place in art history:
AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THE RESOURCES ASSIGNED ABOVE: Answer the following questions completely and with specificity to the provided resources, previous Artist Spotlight information, personal reflection, and additional research as needed:
  1. List your criteria for art; what in your opinion, is needed in order to call something "art"? List as many characteristics as possible.
  2. Find a dictionary definition of ART. Write it in full (included the source) and compare/contrast this definition of art with the list that you wrote for question #1.
  3. Andy Warhol said “everything is art.” Do you agree or disagree with his statement  - and what reasons do you have for your opinion?​
CURIOUS? Here is even more information about Pop Art!
