We have been learning about Pop Art! Pop Art is a
fun art movement that became popular in the 1960s. Pop Art is usually very
bright and colourful, and it often uses images and icons that are popular in
the modern world. We looked at Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop Art based on comic
strips, especially examples of onomatopoeia such as ‘Pop!’ ‘Bang!’ and ‘Wham!’
We decided to use our names instead.
First, we cut a big cloud or star shape out of coloured paper,
and then we glued a smaller, newspaper shape on top. Then we drew the letters
of our name in bubble writing. We had to make sure they weren’t too skinny or
they were too hard to cut out! Finally, we decorated the rest of our work with colourful shapes and patterns. We hope you like our Pop Art!
