LO: Can I use coloured card and printing ink to replicate multiple images?
Prior learning
Prior learning
In the last lesson we began to research the history of Pop Art and some of it's notable artists.
We learnt that Pop Art uses very bright and bold colours that 'pop' on the page. We also found out that when many of these colours are used together, strong contrasts are made that create a unique and striking effect.
We created a piece of art in the style of Andy Warhol, who used repeated images in a tile format. The repetition of these images makes the viewer think differently about the content in terms of colour and composition.

Today we will be working individually to create prints using coloured card and ink. We will be imitating Andy Warhol's 'repeated image' style with a large focus on creating artwork that has strong contrasts. To do this, we will limit the amount of colours we use, and combine these with a simple everyday object that is replicated multiple times.
Questions to consider while you are making...
What colours will I choose to use to make my tiles?
How many tiles will I choose to create and how will this affect the overall appearance of my print?
What repeated image will I use to put in the centre of each tile? Why have I chosen this image?
What effects am I hoping to create?
Scroll through this carousel to see some suggested examples of repeated images that use black or white as a strong contrast on top of bright, bold colours.

Use your art books to make some reflections about the learning.
- What is working well in your finished piece?
- How would you describe your artwork? Think carefully about the new vocab that you have learnt whilst researching Pop Art
- Where there any challenges when making your print? Would you do anything differently if you had to the print again and why?
- How do you feel about Pop Art? Why do you think Andy Warhol chose to make artwork in this style?
