(1928-1987)
Warhol was an American painter, printmaker and filmmaker. He was a key figure in the POP Art movement which began in the 1950's. POP Art explores themes and ideas from popular culture.
Warhol created many of his pieces using a silkscreen process. This project is an adaptation of that process inspired by his images of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Jackie O.
BEFOREHAND - take a digital photo of each child. Using Photoshop or any other similar software turn the photo Grayscale and then increase the contrast making the image purely black and white, no grays.
Materials:
- 8 copies of a black and white photo of each child (on plain copy paper is fine)
- Watercolor paints
- Gluesticks
- 16x20 Black contruction paper
- Examples of Andy Warhol's paintings
Directions:
1. Each child will get all 8 copies of a photo of themselves that they will paint with watercolor. Emphasize that each one should be different, altering the colors and/or color placement. Refer to the examples of Warhol's paintings.
2. Glue each image next to one another into a grid like pattern (4 on the top, 4 on the bottom) onto the big black construction paper.
