Lesson 2: Pop Art (color, contrast, pattern, & texture)
In the second lesson, students research the history of Pop Art by reading an article titled "Pop Art: The Art of Popular Culture," by artyfactory.com. In the first assignment for this lesson, students create either a "Andy Warhol Style" portrait, or a Pop Art comic scene or strip (inspired by Roy Lichtenstein).
​
In the final assignment, students work in small to large groups to complete a large-scale Pop Art Portrait, utilizing the Dürer Grid technique (lesson 1). The Pop Art Portrait is a collaborative artwork for groups of 12-20 people. *Assignments for Lesson 2 were adapted from artyfactory.com.
