Second grade Andy Warhol self portrait collage

Second grade artists have been studying the Pop Art movement with Andy Warhol. We learned a bit about his work by watching a short youtube video (click here). We learned about his life and read the book "Uncle Andy's" which can also be found on youtube by clicking here.

We noticed how he liked to repeat images and how he copied images that were normally not considered art. We used his ideas to inspire our own pop self-portraits!

We also thought about calligraphy and graphic design by using creative lettering to design our names and qualities about us with each of our images.

On the back, we filled out our three favorite facts about Andy Warhol's life and art.



Learning Goals:
I can identify the art of Andy Warhol
I can describe Pop Art
I can show blending in my art with crayon
I can use calligraphy and creative lettering to create my own name.
I can list 3 things about Andy Warhol's life and art.

5th Grade Pop Art

5th Grade Pop Art

Last week, 5th graders learned about the pop art movement and the artist Roy Lichtenstein whose art was inspired by comics. We read a book about Roy and learned how he experimented with many different kinds of art but his sense of humor and precise style of painting made him most well-known for his comic strip paintings. He would often use word bubbles and expressions that looked like something you would see in a cartoon. He used benday dots to create a pixelated style. The students were interested in the concept of pop art because it deals with themes of media and pop culture! We discussed what Roy might paint about if he was still painting today like Oreos or The Justice League!
