Young Artists Club: Andy Warhol

Our Young Artist’s Club studied Andy Warhol last month!  And, as befitting an artist with such varied work, our club members got to explore Pop Art in several different activities.

As one of the first activities of the day, our club members made Warhol Boxes.  Warhol built boxes to look like cartons of popular food items.  They were so realistic, he even got sued for the work!  Our club members created boxes of brands they enjoy or admire.

We made Warhol Handprints:

And for our themed snack we focused on re-imagining popular icons.  We transformed 2 vanilla wafers and a Girl Scout mint cookie into a mini burger, and added gel icing in various colors as lettuce, mustard, cheese, and ketchup.  Our club members loved it!
