Andy Warhol Pop Art Prints

This project was based on Pop Art! Obviously, we studied Mr. Andy Warhol.
I love showing them his picture and see what their reaction is going to be. They usually respond with comments about his hair.  

We learned that "pop" stands for "popular".  He choose popular items because they were an equalizer.  Campbell's soup-taste the same no matter if you are rich or poor.
Coca-cola-you get the same product no matter who you are.

We looked at his prints and talked about color schemes.  
Students then choose a popular item or logo to create their prints.




  1. First, we drew our practice designs onto thin paper.  
  2. Then we traced through the thin paper onto the middle of a styrofoam plate.  
  3. We then cut the plate into a square.  
  4. Students choose four different colored rectangles to print onto.  
  5. After all the prints were finished, they glued them to a white background paper.  
Some students didn't quite understand about making sure the rectangles were all facing the same direction.
