L.I. To research an artist and recreate a simple piece of art in the Pop Art style.
Today we are looking at a Pop Artist called Andy Warhol. Watch the video below to learn more about him and the Pop Art Movement.
Warhol used a combination of famous images from everyday objects: Cola can, Soup tin, to people (Elvis, Marylin Monroe) and created screen print images, which were then given a bold and vibrant background to make them “pop”.
Task 1:
Google search famous image by Warhol and create a digital poster using Microsoft Word or Publisher. This will allow you to see and explore his artwork and get a feel for it.
Task 2:
You are going to create your own simple Pop Art piece. Watch the video below and then follow the instructions underneath.
Create a fast and effective Warhol style Pop Art image following the steps in the video.
- Fold paper into equal 4 sections
- Trace round hand in each section
- Paint (or colour) each hand in a single colour
- Paint (or colour) each background in a single contrasting colour
- Paint hand a dark colour (Black / blue / purple)
- Print hand on top of drawn hand
(If you do not have paint you don't have to do the hand print part!)
