Our next project will take a look at Pop Art and Andy Warhol. You will be creating your own soup cans based on pop culture references that are relevant to you.
Watch this video to hear about Andy Warhol and why his soup cans are significant in the world of art.
Now take a look at the first slideshow below for an intro to your project
After you finish watching this slideshow you will begin brainstorming your soup ideas. Use the worksheets that I provided for this step.
After you finish brainstorming and your ideas are approved by me you can take a look at the second slideshow.
The second slideshow has more in depth instructions that explain how to make your soup cans.
For our next project we will take a look at onomatopoeia, a fun literary component that you are learning about in your English classes. We will also take a look at Pop Art and Roy Lichtenstein. You will create a mixed media collage using newspaper, markers, and construction paper.
onomatopoeia: (n) the formation of a word, as cuckoo, meow, honk, or boom, by imitation of a sound made by or associated with its referent.

This project takes a look at the Pop Art movement, and the artist Andy Warhol. We will create a pop art piece using our favorite candy bar and watercolors.
3. Choose your favorite cropped image of your candy bar to enlarge as your pop art piece.
4. Draw your candy bar on the 12x18 piece of watercolor paper. Remember to fill the space and use your printout of your cropped candy bar as a reference to create a dynamic image.
5. Paint your candy bar using watercolor to represent the candy bar as accurately as possible.
6. Add a background of color/patterns to finish your piece.
