In this lesson students will:

points of view about an issue.

agriculture.
Grade FiveSOCIALSTUDIES
We have all heard
advertisements on TV or
seen ads at the grocery store
promoting organic meats and
grass-fed beef. Across our
state, many Texas families
consume beef for dinner, but
do we really understand what
we’re eating?
Standards *Social Studies TEKS:
5.12(B), 5.24(A), 5.24(B), 5.24(D)
*ELAR TEKS: 5.12(A)
*Art TEKS: 5.1(B), 5.2(B), 5.4(A)
Before You Go
Prior to visiting the State Fair of Texas,
students should be given the opportunity to
complete a blind taste test of grass-fed and
grain-fed beef:
* Taste the two types of beef .
* Analyze an infographic and an article
explaining how messages conveyed
in various forms of media are presented
differently .
* Research a variety of sources, comparing
and contrasting the two methods of
raising cattle.
* Hold a classroom discussion about how
supply and demand impact the type of
beef that is sold in stores.
Plan Your Route.
* From the Texas Star, go around the back of
the Cotton Bowl stadium.
* Go to Cattle Barn #1 and #2.
* Find the Woofus and wave at him!
* You will pass the Livestock Judging
Pavilion as well.
* When you finish wandering through these
barns, make your way to the Pan Am Barns on
M.L. King Blvd.

Arts Connection: Pop Art at the FairGrade Five
SOCIALSTUDIES
In this lesson, students will:
* Choose an image of popular culture from the
Fair from which to create a pop art piece.
Plan Your Route.
* Proceed through the route for the
Social Studies lesson.
* Cow Screenprint Set
* Marilyn Monroe Print
* Campbell’s Soup Print
Before You Go
Prior to visiting the Texas State Fair, talk to the
students about the images or objects that would
be considered part of popular culture, today. To
begin, ask the students questions such as:
* What are some images that you see every day?
(hint: think of things that are popular, such
as social media.)
* What are some popular products that we use
today?
* Are there people that we see in pictures or
magazines on a daily basis?
* What are some popular foods that we eat?
Next, show students the art of Andy Warhol. Warhol
was at the forefront of the pop art movement. He
took images from everyday life, used them as the
focus of his work, and utilized a small palette of
bright and vibrant colors to create his pop art
works. Often, he would repeat the exact image,
changing only the color scheme. Below are some
great images of Andy Warhol’s to show and discuss
with the students. Talk about the color schemes you
see, emphasis of the main image, and balance. Many
more of his pop art works can be found at http://
www.warhol.org/collection/art/.
Popular culture is all around
us. It includes the images, ideas,
perspectives, attitudes, and
other phenomena exist within the
mainstream of a given culture.
Each area of the world, therefore,
would have varying objects or
images that would be considered
a part of their popular culture.
The artist Andy Warhol was at
the forefront of an artistic
movement known as the “pop art”
movement. The art involved in
this movement placed images from
popular culture as the focus of
artworks, challenging the previous
traditions of what was considered
“art”.

TEACHER LIVESTOCK & AGRICULTURE
Arts Connection: Pop Art at the Fair
While You’re There
As you make your way through the Fair, pay attention to the
signs and images surrounding you.
* Do any of them look familiar?
* Do you see any that are repeated?
* What about the animals that you see?
* Do you see a lot of the same kinds of animals?
* Think about the popular culture of the fair.
* If you listed some of the objects or images that are repeated
at the Fair, what would they be?
* List or sketch these in your notebook.
* If possible, you can take photos of them with your
smart phone.
After the Fair
* Now it’s time to create your own pop art piece!
* Have the students take out their sketches or images have from
the fair.
* If possible, display examples of pop art on the projector, or have
handouts available to show the students.
* Reflect on the color schemes that are often seen in pop art (limited
palette – usually 2-3 colors, bold colors, balance, and emphasis.)
* Have each student select an image from the Fair for their pop art work.
* You can fold a large piece of paper into four equal squares and repeat
the same image in each square using a different color palette for each
square.
* The medium is up to you and can be anything from colored pencils to
paint.
* Encourage the students to have fun and be creative!
* Ask the students to include a paragraph that accompanies their work,
explaining the pop culture image they chose from the Fair, why
they chose that image, what their biggest obstacle was, and what they
would do differently next time. If possible, display the paragraphs
beside the pop art on the wall.
