6th Grade - Pop Art Self-Portraits



Students began these colorful Andy Warhol-style paintings with a small drawing (6"x6") of themselves.  They used a mirror to get a close look at their own unique facial features.  Once completed, they used the graphite transfer technique to apply their portrait 4 times on the the larger, 12x12 piece of paper.  Next, they applied a different color "family" to each of their portraits; warm, cool, monochromatic and complementary colors.  It was a long process but worth the hard work!
