Summary
Students created an Andy Warhol, Pop Art inspired, Acrylic transfer on canvas. Using PowerPoint and Active Engage, they learned about the history of Pop Art and how it influences and relates to modern times. Their final piece of art work emulated the process and look of silk screening used by Andy Warhol. To achieve this look, students used Photoshop to stylize an iconic image and Acrylic Transfer Printing to apply their edited image to the canvas.
TIPC Ratings
Students used PowerPoint and School Space resources to learn about the history of Pop Art. They also used a search engine to seek out additional information and appropriate images to use in their pieces. Active Engage was used to measure their understanding of the history of pop art through a review game.
Students reviewed the Pop Art PowerPoint in groups, allowing them to discuss what they saw and generate questions about what they didn’t understand. When the Photoshop program was introduced students who were more literate with the tools partnered up with students who were having difficulty. Students also critiqued their work as a class after the lesson was done.
Students had to consider what defined Pop Art as an art movement. They were also expected to consider the thoughts of the viewer and their piece would affect them.
Students had to make creative decisions on composition, background color. Students also had to choose appropriate filters and tools on Photoshop to edit their images in a way that they feel made the larges impact on the viewer
