Cone Heads
Coy, Mary
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v105 n2 p28-29 Oct 2005
The author, a middle school art teacher, describes a sculpture project lesson involving Cone Heads (sculptures made from cardboard cones). Discussion of caricatures with exaggerated facial features and interesting profiles helped students understand that the more expressive the face, the better. This project took approximately four to five classes, with the last day being devoted to final touch-ups, last-minute gluing, and students completing a self-evaluation sheet on their character and how they viewed the process. A class critique and a display of the Cone Heads ended this experience. This project met a national standard for teachers to help students understand and apply media, techniques, and processes.
