Pop Art pictures: 2nd grade

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done.  Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.  While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

The 2nd graders learned about Andy Warhol.  We read Getting to Know Andy Warhol, by Mike Venezia and we viewed a short video about the artist. 
The students drew themselves while looking in a mirror.  Then, I photocopied each drawing so the students had multiple copies (copy a few extra in case a student doesn’t like a result and wants to try again.)  They colored each picture in different colors.  Then, four pictures were mounted on to a piece of construction paper.
Four hand-drawn Pop Art portraits show the same person with different colored faces—green, red, orange, and blue—each in a shirt with "USA" letters. These vibrant pictures evoke a fun 2nd grade art project.
Four colorful, abstract portraits in a Pop Art style are drawn with bold lines and patterns. Each face shows unique designs and colors, like lively pictures perfect for a 2nd grade classroom, all set against a plain background.
Four colorful Pop Art pictures show 2nd grade children's drawings of people with variously colored hair and red or pink shirts, each with different facial expressions and playful patterns on their faces.
Four colorful, child-like Pop Art portraits depict women with long hair, each featuring exaggerated facial features and bright, contrasting colors for skin, hair, and clothing—resembling playful Pop Art pictures made by 2nd grade artists.

And of course, I picked up a couple of the new Campbell’s soup cans to show the students.

Six colorful Campbell's Tomato Soup cans, each showcasing different Pop Art designs, celebrate 50 years of Andy Warhol's iconic artwork.
