Pop Art Creations

The girls have been studying Pop Art.


They've studied the work of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein

As well as completing work that was an homage to these two artists, the girls are working here on a 3-D piece of Pop Art of their own

After teacher cut the mdf to size...

...we gave them a generous coating of acrylic paint.

We chose acrylic as it meant we wouldn't need to varnish them.

We then put them outside to dry in the sunshine.

It didn't take too long for them to dry.

We had previously made a template of card which outlined the word/slogan we wanted to create

We had marked the points where the nails were to go. Wwe hammered them into place.

We ripped up the template as we worked.

It was hard...

...and noisy work.

Using different coloured wool, we began to create our images.

It took a long time...

...and a lot of nails...

...but I think you'll agree that the final results were..


...pretty...

...cool...

...,right?
