Pop Art pictures: 2nd grade


Don’t think about making art, just get it done.  Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.  While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

The 2nd graders learned about Andy Warhol.  We read Getting to Know Andy Warhol, by Mike Venezia and we viewed a short video about the artist. 
The students drew themselves while looking in a mirror.  Then, I photocopied each drawing so the students had multiple copies (copy a few extra in case a student doesn’t like a result and wants to try again.)  They colored each picture in different colors.  Then, four pictures were mounted on to a piece of construction paper.
Four child-drawn portraits labeled "Mona," featuring colorful abstract designs in a 2nd grade Pop Art style.
I really like the radiating yellow lines on this one.

Four colorful children's drawings, labeled "Quinn," showcasing stylized portraits in colors and outfits. The pictures evoke a playful Pop Art style that's both fun and eye-catching.

Nine vibrant pop art portraits resemble the same person, each with a distinct color scheme and a finger on their chin.
Andy Warhol’s Self Portrait

Four  Pop Art drawings of a person with glasses and shirts labeled "NASA" in green, red, orange, and blue tones.
This student did an excellent job capturing all of the details in his self-portrait.

Four colorful, child-drawn portraits, each with distinct patterns and colors on the faces and shirts.
This boy spent a lot of time carefully coloring all these patterns!

Six colorful Campbell's Tomato Soup cans, each showcasing different Pop Art designs, celebrate 50 years of Andy Warhol's iconic artwork.
And of course, I picked up a couple of the new Campbell’s soup cans to show the students.
