I really liked using the work of Robert Arneson with my high school
students. My students made some really creative portrait busts.

woodcut)

had eighth graders make Arneson inpired figures and mount on 4"x4" wood
bases)

Here is a lesson plan from Utah Museum of Fine Art (for relief):

George E Orh is another good one ---but the cool site is now off line:

For history:
I have many links on my page on Ceramics - you might find something there:

(SW native American) for humor in art - see the work of Roxanne Swentzell

My students made some really creative effigy vessels/portrait -- many
humorous - inspired by native cultures.

You could also do Face Jugs - American Folk art/ Slave Pottery. (I have
links on file if you are interested) http://www.rosehipsart.com/potters.html
Lots of images http://makeashorterlink.com/?N18F261B3

Well....it looks like I need to update my ceramics page (I found a couple of
broken links). As I go through it I will send any your way relateing to
humor in art

Subject: Humor in art/ceramics

anyone have a ceramics lesson that would involve humor in art? This is for
a high school level. I also need any websites that might have any info on
the history, All help will be greatly appreciated.
