Andy Warhol was part of the Pop Art movement. He was famous for exploring popular culture in his work, using images of brands like Coca Cola, Listerine and Campbell’s Soup (which was one of his favourite things to eat!).
Year 6 children were given the research sheet below and we discussed many aspects of Warhol's work and how he liked to use bright colours and silk screening techniques to mass-produce artworks.
Firstly, they were given an A5 piece of white card and taught how to draw and fill the page with a cylinder soup can shape. Then they were set the challenge to create their very own soup that reflects a part of themselves. Whether that be their personality, likes, dislikes, colours, name, inspiration from Warhol... whatever they want!
What talented children! What amazing colours! And don't they look great as a collaborative class piece?! Very proud as always :)
The Andy Warhol Museum over in Pittsburgh, USA, loved seeing the children's work too. Well done guys!
