Student Work

WPAP Pop Art

Each Student will be able to apply basic color theory to match color tones with the correct values in a WPAP portrait using the bezier tool.

Project Criteria:

Advanced vector project that builds on the Poly Art lesson.
Use of polygon shapes to emphasize specific areas of value.
Values are determined by different color temperatures (cool colors are shadows, warm colors are highlights)
Final product is clean and neat with no gaps between polygon shapes.
Final image is edited to transform the colors and change the background to be different from the original.

What is WPAP?

WPAP is a Cubist-inspired style of geometric pop art created by Indonesian artist Wedha Abdul Rasyid in the late 1990's. Wedha's Pop Art style (WPAP) is most recognizable due to his use of facets and polygons and color color schemes.

Color Theory and Shading

Cool and darker colors will be best used as shadows while warmer, lighter colors will be better highlights. Colors that are in between those will be used as shadows, the colors next to each helps determine the temperature and value.
