Limited Edition Coca-Cola bottle: DIY of art project.
My student teacher did an awesome project with my eight graders on these limited edition coca-cola bottle project.
He gets all the credit, I even asked him if I could share and use his pictures.
The pictures are all his, except the ones of the results.
Introduction to the limited edition Coca-Cola bottle.
This lesson is easy to link to the pop-art period. Andy Warhol did some great Coca-Cola paintings.
This is a great opportunity to talk about modern artists like Modrian, Picasso, Britto, Miro, Kandinsky, Niki de Saint Phalle… all the ones who would look great on a bottle! 😉
Project: limited edition Coca-Cola bottle:
Try to use all the sames size bottles, that’s so much nicer to make pictures when the project is done.
You can start with glueing the newspaper onto the bottle.
When the glue is drying, you can start with the Pop-Art and design part.
Have some blowdryers at hand to dry the white layers of paint. That way you don’t lose too much time.
Supplies
* wall paper glue
* old newspapers
* empty plastic coca-cola bottles
* acryllic paint
* black waterproof markers
* varnish
* sketchbook for the design
Step by step
They designed in their sketchbooks.
Great project for middle school
This a project that works well in several grades, but the middle school kids will love them.
Make sure you give them lots of artist to chose from, that way you’ll have many different bottles to show.
Pin limited editon coca-cola bottles for later

What a wonderful idea for middle school students! Do you have a Teachers Pay Teachers website where this lesson can be purchased for download?
Amazing lesson, would love to use this for my grade 5. Could you please provide me your lesson plan on this topic
It’s an old lesson and I don’t teach anymore… so no lesson plan anymore.
But I do hope you try it, because the kids loved it!
Did you cut off the labels and reattach them when their art was complete? They look great! (Bottles and labels both!)
I have used rice based “Elmers Paper Mache Glue.” It does not mold and no “wheat allergies.” I save “mis-feeds” from the copy room for the students to use—the white side out makes for easier paint coverage. And not so many newspapers are around these days!
I love this! I’m going to try it with my fourth and fifth graders in Art Club! Thank you for sharing!
I skipped the paper mache part and used tempera sticks to paint the bottle. It doesn’t look quite as cool, but it saved a lot of time and mess.
