Andy Warhol Inspired Hand-prints

First grade students began the year with art work inspired by Pop Artist, Andy Warhol.  We talked about turning the ordinary into extraordinary art with the help of repetition and bold colors. Student then folded a 10x10 piece of paper into fourths to get 4 equal squares to use.  Students then traced their hand-print four times trying to rotate their hand in a new direction in each box.  Then came the fun... we stamped their hand-prints on top!  The next week, students then practiced their painting skills by painting in the inside of their hand-prints with four different colors.  Then students moved onto painting the backgrounds making sure they switch colors to make the print "pop"!

   

   

The final results definitely, "POP!!"
