 What do you get when you hand over some blank paper coffee cups to a bunch of high school art students? Some amazing art! This was my Art 1 classes first major assignment. The Doodle cup project. Students could use markers, crayons, colored pencils, sharpies, etc. The goal for my students was to create a unique design that used the white space of the cup. They also had to do something to the lid. These took students about a week to complete...5 50 minute classes. We had a vote on the top 5 designs from each class to be included in the art show which was extra incentive to do high quality work! Overall I will certainly be doing this project again. For those art teachers interested, I bought a set of 100 cups with lids from Solo on Amazon for around $20. You can find the cups I purchased by clicking the image below:

Are you able to use/drink from the cups afterwards?

Yes, though I haven't tried this. If students leave the insides and rim of the cup untouched, they should be safe for drinking. Leave a Reply. |
