Create your own pop art. 

 

Use magazine clippings, newspaper, computer images, paint or anything you can think of to create your pop art piece.

 

Blow up your image on a copier, create different sized images, use multiple images…let your imagination go wild!     

 

Make sure your final piece of Pop Art is 8 ½” X 11” or larger.

 

After you have finished your artwork, write a paragraph (100 words or more) on why your piece should be considered Pop Art.

Project

Artwork is sloppy and isn’t Pop Art.

Artwork portrays Pop Art, but is sloppy or unoriginal.

Excellent piece of  Pop Art. Unique perspective

Writing

Paragraph is less than 100 words and / or doesn’t address why the project is Pop Art.

Paragraph of 100 words exists but why the student thinks it is Pop Art is partly right.

Paragraph is over 100 words and the rationale of why the project is Pop Art is excellent.
