Andy Warhol Pop Art We are learning about the art movement ‘Pop Art’ and the artist Andy Warhol.
We will design a repeating pop art portrait digitally or by hand.
Andy Warhol was a super famous ‘Pop Artist’. ‘Pop Art’ is bright art that ‘pops out’ of the page, it also features ‘popular’ images such as cartoon characters, celebrities and food items. He is famous for turning things like celebrity pictures into colourful and fun artwork. If you would like to know more about Pop Art and some other artists who made Pop Art you can watch a video here The image below of the actress Marilyn Monroe is one of Warhol’s most famous. He repeated the same image again and again with different colours.
Create your own version by choosing from the 3 activities on the next pages.
Primary 6 and 7 – Andy Warhol Pop Idols
Option 1– Digital Pop Art *** You will need a camera and a computer with internet access for this***
We are learning to make digital Pop Art using repeated images Here is one I made using a picture of my cat! You can watch a little video here to see how I made mine. This is the website link that I used https://photofunia.com/categories/all_effects/popart?server=1 For our older or more confident digital artists: This website has some more advance features you can try and experiment with to make Pop Art images https://pixlr.com/. Copy them into a Word document to get the repeating effect.
Option 2– Make a Selfie Artwork *** You will need a smartphone or camera and a printer for this and 6 coloured pencils
From https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/make/paint-‐draw/make-‐pop-‐art-‐warhol
Have a go at making your own artwork like Warhol's. You can be the celebrity!
1. TAKE A SELFIE AND PRINT IT OUT SIX TIMES IN BLACK AND
WHITE
2. ON EACH SELFIE USE JUST TWO COLOURING PENCILS TO COLOUR IN YOUR HAIR, FACE
AND EYES
3. ONCE EACH SELFIE IS
COLOURED IN, CUT IT OUT AND THEN STICK THEM ON A SHEET
OF PAPER SIDE BY SIDE
HOW DO YOU LOOK IN EACH SELFIE NOW? WHICH DO YOU
LIKE BEST?
Option 3– Hand Drawn Pop Idols Don’t worry if you don’t have a printer at home -‐ I don’t. Here’s another option.
1. Choose a picture of yourself or a celebrity you really like. You could find a picture in a book, magazine or online. I chose Andy Warhol.
2. Copy or trace over the simple shapes, you don’t need all the details just face, eyes, mouth, nose, hair. – Make 4 copies (I folded an A4 page into 4)
3. Choose 6 pencils, pens or crayons to colour your pictures. This will make the piece fit together well.
4. Use a different 3 colours on each picture. Remember the background. How did it turn out?
I can’t wait to see what you create! From Miss Burrows
