Artist in the Classroom Program
| Grade 5 - Andy Warhol Project Students will use foam pieces to create block style prints. Using varied line to convey the illusion of texture, they will also explore the use of positive and negative space. Complimentary colours with pencil crayons will be used to enhance the black colored print. Andy Warhol’s work will be used to emphasize these design principles. Curriculum Requirements Elements of Design 1. Complementary colours will be studied and utilize d in the project. 2. Varied use of line in the background will be used to convey a sense of movement and depth. 3. Textures will also o be incorporated to convey an emotional response. Materials & Techniques Students will taught how to do a simple printing project to create multiple copies of the initial image. On a sheet of 12x 18 white paper, they will apply three prints in a row. These prints will then each be coloured differently with cloured pencil. Class participation will be encouraged when discussing the element of design and the materials and techniques. Example: “What is positive space?” |
