Play Greg
Percy's "Pop Andy" Songs in the Key Art #4 |
Resources/Materials:
Andy Warhol Endangered Species print set - images of Andy Warhol's
color experiments. Internet
links.
Uncle
Andy's: A Fabulous Visit with Andy Warhol by James Warhola
Photographs of animals (calendars are a good source for quality
images). May make photocopy sets for tables.
8 1/2 x11 paper (you might try photocopying their work on to card
stock) - pencils, tempera paints (or markers) brushes, black permanent
markers. |
Motivation:
- Edible
color Wheel introductory lesson
- Discussion of Endangered Animals - PowerPoint of animals
- Brief biography of Andy Warhol and PowerPoint of his work (or show
art prints)
- Demonstrate/review contour drawing - review color planning
Procedures:
Wait!
Before you eat all of your cookies - try some color planning!
After you photograph their cookie color wheel, have them arrange them into
color plans - warm colors, cool colors, analogous colors - show the
complementary colors -- then have them make some tints and do some
monochromatic plans. Kids don't care how many times those cookies were
handled before they eat them (smile) - but if you are worried - they could
wear latex gloves, I suppose. Then the students will be ready for this dynamite
lesson from Denise.
From Denise: This is my favorite color project- Andy
Warhol Color Theory Animals. The students learn about Warhol, color theory
and develop skills in drawing an animal (from photographs). I make 4
photocopies of their line drawing for each student, and they paint each
one using a different color scheme: warms, cools, analogous,
complementary, monochromatic, etc. To finish, they are outlined in black
marker & glued on a poster board. They must label the back for me as
well.
Adaptation for middle school: Students print linoleum prints -
four different combinations of colors for 3color (minimum) reduction
prints.
