This is a great art lesson to wrap up the school year! I explained the meaning of Pop Art, used several artists to describe its meaning and provided visuals of Pop Art paintings. Students are able to relate Pop Art to popular contemporary icons and how it can be used in a work of art.
Procedure:
1. We begin by folding our paper into four even pieces (fold half and half again).
2. We then used a plastic cup as guide to draw a circle for our round shaped emojis. We drew all four emojis first with our black sharpie. Not all emojis turned out to be round. I noticed students' engagement was very positive for this lesson. They seem to really like emojis nowadays.
3. They proceed to paint their picture using watercolor paints.
Materials:
White paper, black sharpies, plastic cups, watercolor paints
