My Project
Students in grades K-2 at my school will be introduced to the life and art of Andy Warhol and Pop Art as a way of considering photography as a self-portrait medium, combining elements of art and art styles to support our school's magnet program. After viewing and discussing other artists’ photographic self-portraits, students will create their own organic and manipulated 4 square canvas self-portrait with oil pastels and the black Sharpies.
Andy Warhol became fabulously famous for his 1960s pop art and is still influencing young artists of today.
He produced big, bold images of the popular, the famous, and the stuff of our consumer society. His multi-image portraits of famous people—Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Jacqueline Kennedy—and of common products—Campbell's soup cans, Brillo pad boxes, Coca Cola bottles—are among the most powerful icons of twentieth-century American art. So far, we have studied many artists such as Britto and Matisse. Their projects will be displayed on canvas throughout our school building for visitors to see the many diverse faces.
