Yr 2-7 POP ART – Roy Lichtenstein

Andy Warhol’s soup cans, Roy Lichtenstein’s cartoon panels, David Hockney’s swimming pools — meet the icons of Pop art! Pop art elevates everyday objects in a bright, fun and bold visual style that, well, pops.

If you feel like your creativity needs a little “KERPOW!” of energy, you may want to borrow ideas from Pop art. All you need is a basic understanding of its mission: celebrating our daily lives in a vibrant, vivid way.

Watch the video of ‘Pop Art’ and then follow the instructions to make your own POP art!

Have fun  🙂 Miss Manna
