1st Grade: Pop Art Popsicles

This unit introduced the first grade classes to Pop Art, Andy Warhol, contrast, pattern, repetition, and gadget printing.

We started by choosing three colors to glue down for the background.

Then, students created four papers, each a different color. They made a gadget print on each one. 

In the next class period, students added another layer to their papers, using the same process.

The next step was to cut out their popsicles and glue it to their backgrounds. They had to choose a background square that would contrast their popsicle's colors to make it stand out. Last, they added a small popsicle stick to each one. (Final student work is pictured at the top).
