The world of Pop Art is difficult to explain to elementary students. They understand realism, portraits and landscapes but the crazy ideas of Pop Art often befuddle my young students. Last year we looked at the art of Andy Warhol, and Keith Haring. This year, the focus is on Roy Lichtenstein portraits and Vassily Kandinsky. To kick this off, upper el students created pop art portraits in the cartoon-ish style of Roy Lichtenstein. The basics of creating a good portrait were explored, but then the creativity began when they added their own personal expressions (Wow, Kazoom, Boom).
