Fourth Grade Pop Art

In Fourth Grade, our first project we discussed the artist Andy Warhol and the Pop Art movement.  We looked at how Andy utilized popular culture around him to create his artwork.  We created our own Pop Art drawings inspired by Andy's work, Fourth Graders selected something from their every day life that they wanted to use as their Pop Art image.  Some created candy, we are closing in on Halloween... it is on everyone's mind!  Others thought about clothing brands and some even created a depiction of their family pet.

After drawing, the students selected a group of colors to add to their artwork.  The same colors were rotated around, giving their drawings the identifiable Pop Art look.  Upon completion of coloring, students outlined their drawings to help their pencil lines stand out against their colors.
