5th Grade: Emoji Soft Sculptures

Pop art is a fun style of art to learn about, but kids especially love it when it's something relevant to them. For a fifth grader in today's society, they love emojis! The students were so excited to create something they were interested in. We took a look at other pop art and what types of things were popular then. This was a great way for students to also think differently about sculpture. Often times we think of sculpture as these hard surfaces such as wood, marble, steel, etc. We often over look "soft sculptures. These students made their soft sculptures using felt, hot glue, and yarn.
