Pop Art Farm Animal Prints
Learning Targets
I can...- Create a Pop Art Farm Animal Print using printmaking techniques learned in class
- Use geometric shapes (rectangle, square), line variation (contour, outline), and tertiary colors (red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet) inspired by American Artist (1928-1987) Andy Warhol
- Use design principles (balance, repetition, composition) based on the Pop Art Movement
- Define Printmaking (an art media involving ink and making a repeated image)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. Cow Wallpaper (1966) Andy Warhol
2. Read Andy Warhol's Colors by Susan Goldman Rubin
3. Reflective Discussion "Where do you go to see cows? on milk products, in old paintings, or driving through the countryside? The tradition of putting cows in 1800s landscapes paintings was to make viewers think of calm settings. In contrast, in the 1960s fluorescent colors were not available to the public and Warhol's pink, blue, or yellow cow surprised many. Even Crayola Crayon Companies did not introduce their fluorescent based colors until 1972."
Lesson Activities
1. Choose One 8" by 11" Animal Photograph
2. Use pencils to draw contour lines of farm animals (pig hen cow) onto foam plates
3. Use wooden stylus to outline contour lines of farm animals (pig hen cow)

Day Two, Art Start
1. Retrieve Pop Art Farm Animal Print for Assigned Table
2. Read "Dropping In On Andy Warhol" by Pamela Stephens
3. Printmaking- is an art media involving ink and making a repeated image. "What is pop culture? How does popular culture influence us? What were some well-known people or famous things you like? The Pop Art Movement was characterized by a sense of optimism during the 1950-1960s post war. Pop Art was brash, young, hostile, and fun compared to the artistic establishment. It included different styles but all had a common interest in the mass media, mass production, and mass culture."
Lesson Activities
1. Finish using wooden stylus to outline contour lines of farm animals (pig hen cow)
2. Use tertiary colors to fill in the positive space of the foam plate with ink
3. Use tertiary colors to fill in the negative space of the foam plate with ink
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Pop Art Farm Animal Print for Assigned Table
2. Set Up "Factory" Studio Area (brayers, speedball ink, foam plates)
Lesson Activities
1. Fill positive and negative space of foam plate with ink
2. Use white paper to print four different farm animals (pig hen cow)
3. Use value to add highlights and shadows to Pop Art Farm Animal Prints
