Students will learn a bit about pop art history and afterwards create a piece of Pop Art.
The students will be given a paper and pencil to render ideas for their composition. They will transfer the ideas with pencil onto cardstock and then paint the design in black and white acrylic paint. The students will be encouraged to be neat and meticulous so that their designs have impact. The students will also learn how to use various brushes and the importance of them in good shape. The image provided is a quick rendering of the “bunny” idea.
