Students studying pop-art icon Andy Warhol in JAE’s 4th Grade Crafty Cooks Art Club are making the donuts!

“Students always ask me why we are called the Crafty Cooks Art Club and I always reply, it's a name we inherited,” said club adviser Laura Hill Timpanaro. “The truth is we never cook at all!”

The students wanted to do a project that combined art and food and working collaboratively they came up with a donut-themed, pop art sculpture project. The students led the project, engineering the perfect donut by twisting paper and covering it with a paper mâché paste they made from flour, water and salt. Painted frosting and sprinkles made this art project look good enough to eat!

“The students are very proud of their work and I am very proud of them, said Mrs. Hill Timpanaro. Visual language is all around us and the students came up with a way to express themselves that was truly authentic.
