In this 4 week flexible schedule class we will learn about 4 different Pop artists (Roy Litchenstein, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Wayne Thiebaud) and create art pieces that are inspired by their work. We will talk about their genre of art, create pieces to be proud of, and learn about the artists through interactive games and trivia. 

Learners will post pictures and/or video of their work (and their works in progress) on the classroom page so that fellow learners and the teacher can give feedback and encouragement on their pieces. It will be uplifting and helpful to the students and peer feedback will be fun! 
Students will also engage with each other with interactive online games, fun trivia and games about the artists we will be talking about each week!  
Here are the highlights for each week! 

Week 1 - Roy Litchenstein - We will talk about color, composition, creativity, and also the proper use of materials and clean up. The students will be able to create their art based on his classic POP art painting. They will post pictures of their work on the classroom page so that we can give feedback and encouragement to each learner. 

Week 2 - Keith Haring - We will talk a little about Haring's life, his inspirations, his street and graffiti art and some of his other works. His work reflects love and friendship and we will have fun with his artwork with a dolphin. His line work is incredible. We will have some fun facts and online interaction during the week. 

Week 3 - Andy Warhol - We will have fun exploring the artist Andy Warhol.  We will re-create his beautiful artwork using crayon and watercolor and students will have fun adding their own creativity to their piece. We will have fun with some interaction and also with art pieces posted by the students.

Week 4 - Wayne Thiebaud- During this week we will look at the artist Wayne Thiebaud. We will discuss his life and his experience as an art teacher in the military before getting his first show as an artist in a gallery. We will re-create one of his cake pieces using watercolor and crayon. We will do some puzzles related to this artist and the era.

The classes will be step by step allowing time for each learner to create their piece and be proud of what they create. The videos will be clear and provide at least 2 angles.

No experience is needed, but some parental help could be needed with the painting parts if the student is younger.
