Grade 2/3 ~ Andy Warhol and Sonia Delaunay

The 2/3 students have been enjoying their topic of Media this term and it was a perfect opportunity to learn about the artist Andy Warhol and his pop art style. The National Gallery of Victoria recently had an exhibition of Andy Warhol's art and it was wonderful to hear that some of our students were able to visit.

We read some interesting books about Andy and also watched this video, from Tate Kids, which was all about pop art.

We experimented with altering photos of ourselves into a pop art style, using FotoFlexer and then scoured magazines, brochures, newspapers and scrapbook papers to cut out our initials. We combined the photos and initials to create our own pop art piece and they are currently on display in the Art Room.

2/3 students have also been working on a special piece of artwork for our upcoming Art Show. We have been inspired by the geometric designs of artist Sonia Delaunay and have been working hard on creating our own paintings using geometric shapes. They are looking great and will be on display later in the year.
