Pop Art

Year 8 MYP Inquiry Unit

Statement of inquiry:

'Pop Art changed the rules for personal and cultural expression'

Exploring the work of Pop Artists, the student will gain an understanding of how Pop Art changed the boundaries of what subject matter and style could be used to make Art.

The students selected a Pop Artist that inspired them, researched how this artist made his/her artworks and why. Selecting their own relevant ‘everyday object’, the students created a new artwork that explores the style and ideas of Pop Art. Students represented these ideas through symbols, art elements and composition.
