In this 4-Week Series, students will learn about the famous life and works of pop comic artist, Roy Lichtenstein, and create three works inspired by his style!  If you have a student who enjoys comics, this class is for them!

*Should you miss a week, you can always watch the recording.  If you are having trouble viewing it, please let me know!
*If the day/time doesn't work for you, you can always purchase the class and watch/pause the replay on your own time!  As long as you are registered, I will be available for questions and communications.
*Since you are making a series of three, you may want to display them!  Dollar Tree has frames in size 8x10 and 8.5x11.  Or, you can glue down the works either horizontally or vertically onto a piece of tagboard and then cut to frame.  Just a thought!  If you plan to do this, be sure your paper is cut to the correct size before class begins!

Week 1: 
We will watch a short video about Roy's life and works, which also has his son being interviewed.  I will read to them a short picture book and take a look at some of the classic details that makes his work unique.  Then, we will take a look at the attached resource and get an overview of what projects we will be doing over the next few weeks.  Then, we will begin creating our sunrise/sunset painting and collage.  

Week 2: 
We will finish up our sunset/sunrise piece and get ready to create a self-portrait in his comic style!  We will have a little lesson in sketching and comic portraiture, and get our faces in position.  If there is time, we will begin adding color!

Week 3:
We will finish up our portraits by adding color with marker, and finishing up with a "dotted" comic look by adding dots with q-tips.  These always turn out so great!  We can't forget to add a little dialogue bubble too!  

Week 4: 
Finally, we will revisit the picture book from week one and recreate one of his still life's.  They are not as well known as his people, onomatopoeias, or sun pieces, but I think they are great and worth giving attention to!  They will be simple and created with oil pastel or colored pencil (student choice).  Now, enjoy your Roy Lichtenstein art!
