Fun and accessible Art project for ALL learners! Tried and tested in my junior Immersion classes. -NO PREP!- Perfect for distance and face-to-face learning. This Pop Art project was very popular and successful with my immersion kids. Best thing: it was accessible to all students in the sense that nobody needed to be enrolled in after-school art lessons or have any particular type of artistic talent to succeed. Pop Art is an art movement that originated in the UK and became quite popular in the US because it challenged traditional norms of fine art. This very definition of Pop Art was very pleasing to students who tend to have high levels of anxiety when approaching art or who tend to put themselves down as being “non artistic” or “uncreative”. Pop Art gave these students a gateway into making the production of art very accessible and into redefining their vision of art. In this package you will find: An introduction about Pop Art A quote by Pop artist Andy Warhol that students can comment on. An opportunity to analyze a work by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Students have the opportunity to search up and analyze a Pop Art work of their choice. There is a table with questions to guide student art analysis. Some reflection questions before students get started on creating their own Pop Art masterpiece + guidelines for their own Pop Art masterpiece. An evaluation rubric.
