Use the tools and colours to create your own Pop Art picture. This project has three types of painting activity:

Copy a Warhol-style image – Study an original and try to recreate it.

Copy and review a Warhol-style image – Study an original and try to recreate it, then write an evaluation of your work.

Warhol-style free-painting – Create your own version of a Warhol artwork.

• Andy Warhol was the most famous of the artists of Pop Art, a movement of the 1960s in America and Britain.
• He used a process called screen printing whereby paint was squeezed through a stencil onto the canvas. A different stencil was used for each layer of colour.
• Warhol would print over and over, reusing the stencils and changing the colour of the paint. Each time he would get slightly different effects that he highlighted by displaying multiple prints next to each other.
• Pop Art was obsessed with celebrity culture, consumerism and mass production. These were things that defined the Sixties.
• It also rebelled against the idea that a piece of art should be special and unique by creating art that showed ordinary objects and images that were seen everywhere.
