Pop Art Images in the style of Andy Warhol

Transcription

1 Pop Art Images in the style of Andy Warhol Andy Warhol was a 20 th century American artist who created a style called Pop Art. He painted popular images as serious works of art. He is most famous for his multiple paintings and prints of the Campbell s soup can and celebrities. He repeated the same image several times in one artwork, changing the colors each time Target Group: K-4 Teacher-created examples of pop art paintings Goal (Terminal Objective): Students will create pop art paintings that result from their understanding of the work of Andy Warhol. Students will paint popular images as serious art. Objective: Students will design and paint pop art images that develop around the elements of design, focusing on repetition of shape and color. Each student will select an image that is personal to him/her. Students will learn about the artist, Andy Warhol. National Standards: Visual Arts Grades K-4 Content Standard 1: Understanding and applying media, techniques, and processes Visual Arts Grades K-4 Content Standard 2: Using knowledge of structure and functions Visual Arts Grades K-4 Content Standard 3: Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and ideas

2 Visual Arts Grades K-4 Content Standard 4: Understanding the visual art in relation to history and culture Visual Arts Grades K-4 Content Standard 5: Reflecting upon and assessing the characteristics and merits of their work and the work of others Purpose: Students will focus on drawing symbols and images that are significant to them. They will understand symmetry, balance, repetition of shape and color, and limited color palette. Students will learn to blend colors and make tints. The completed pop art paintings will help students understand an art form that changed how people look at art in their world. New Vocabulary: Andy Warhol, pop art, symmetry, balance, limited color palette, tint, straight edge, complementary colors, straight edge Materials: Poster Paints Acrylic Paint White Glue Smock Glitter Glue Mixing Tray Brush Set heavy 18 x 18 white construction paper, pencils, sketch paper, scissors, and18 x 18 white tag board for border Time: 4-5 lessons (30-45 minutes each) Introduction and Motivation (Set): 1. Teacher introduces students to American artist, Andy Warhol. Students view several of his pop art paintings and prints. Why do you think the artist decided to paint popular images? Are they photographic? How does he use color? Do you think pop art should be in art museums? 2. Teacher introduces new vocabulary.

3 3. Teacher asks students to think about popular images in their lives. Students and teacher brainstorm a list and students make sketches of images they want to paint (hearts, stars, sports images, food, toys, animals, nature images, etc.). 4. The images they select are drawn on 6 x 6 paper and cut out to be used as tracing templates. Instruction: Lesson 1: Teacher helps students prepare their painting papers. Using a straight edge and pencil, draw 1 border on all sides of the 18 x 18 paper. Fold the paper into four squares. Students will not paint in the border (this will prevent the paper from curling up when paint is applied). Trace a popular image/symbol in each of the four sections of the paper. Lesson 1 Lesson 2: Teacher reviews paintings and prints of Warhol. Students look at his multiples artworks and notice how he repeats images and changes colors. Using mixing trays, teacher demonstrates selecting poster paint colors that blend well together (plus white) to create a limited palette for the pop art painting. The paints are not stirred together. Students select color palettes (avoiding complementary colors) and pour small amounts of those colors (plus white) into mixing trays. Students paint two images opposite each other and two backgrounds opposite each other, mixing colors directly on the paper. Color choices, tints, and designs will vary in each section of the painting. Lesson 2

4 Lesson 3: Teacher demonstrates painting the images and backgrounds that were not painted in Lesson 2. Decorative design is added to areas that are dry. Students paint the remaining sections in their paintings and add decorative design to dry areas. Students use white acrylic paint and small brushes to complete decoration. Lesson 3 Lesson 4: Teacher demonstrates embellishment with glitter glue sticks. Students embellish their paintings with glitter glue. When dry, teacher helps students trim their paintings and glue them onto 18 x 18 white tag board. Teacher exhibits completed pop art paintings. Activities: (1) Guided Practice: A. Students learn about pop art and make their own paintings using popular images they select. Students watch teacher s step-by-step demonstrations and discuss teacher exemplars. B. Students design an original pop art artwork using Sargent Art poster paints, acrylic paints, and glitter glue sticks. The paintings incorporate multiples of an image, each painted individually (in the style of Andy Warhol). The sections of the painting blend together to make a beautiful painting of multiple images. (2) Independent Practice and Check for Understanding: A. Teacher circulates through the room during student work time, answering questions and offering support as needed. B. Teacher notes students understanding of directions and reviews with the class if necessary. (3) Closure: A. Teacher helps students mount their paintings on 18 x 18 white tag board. Students take time to evaluate their work and enjoy the work of classmates. B. Students discuss the importance of respect for individuality.

5 Evaluation: Level One -- The artwork conveys good understanding of pop art and painting multiples of an image. Many design elements are incorporated and the finished painting is detailed with excellent repetition of color and shape. Craftsmanship is excellent. Student handles materials with confidence. The painting shows a high degree of originality. The sections unite into one complete painting. Level Two The artwork conveys understanding of pop art and painting multiples of an image. Design elements are incorporated and the finished painting is detailed with good repetition of color and shape. Craftsmanship is good. Student handles materials with confidence. The painting is original. The sections unite into one complete painting. Level Three -- The student has made an effort to convey some understanding of pop art and painting multiples of an image. Some design elements are evident, but the finished painting lacks detail. There is some repetition of shape and color. Craftsmanship is fair. The design is original. The sections are not clearly painted, but there is some evidence of the student trying to unite them into one complete painting. Level Four -- The artwork does not convey understanding of pop art and painting multiples of an image. Design elements are not incorporated and the finished painting lacks detail with little repetition of shape and color. Craftsmanship is poor. The student needs much support throughout the project. The design lacks originality. The sections do not unite into one complete painting. Extensions: Students will create pop art collages. Pictures from magazines and studentdrawn images can be cut and pasted into a composition that focuses on popular images of our lives today. Use 12 x 18 construction paper Sargent Art glue sticks to paste images into a creative and balanced composition. Resources: s&va=andy+warhol+pop+art&sz= BY MARY BORTZ Art Consultant 10/09/2007
