Preschool Art Lessons (Warhol)

Honestly, who doesn't love Pop Art? Ok maybe some people, but this is definitely a movement that appeals to kids. Warhol in particular makes art fun and cartoonish, with his use of bright, distorted colors and repetition. So let's have a Warhol day.

Andy Warhol



Andy Warhol is perhaps one of the most memorable and enigmatic artists of the last 100 years. You don't have to know anything about art to know a Warhol. His pop culture appropriations made him famous, and now your preschoolers can rise to that fame too. Ok ok probably not, but they can have fun experimenting with prints, making reproductions and using vivid colors.

Materials:
Print out an image that the children can color, something simple a face or single image (you'll need 9 copies total)
Crayons/Markers
Large white board (this is your display board)
Glue

Activity:
After discussing various works by Warhol and introducing him as an artist, present the materials. Allow the children to color the 9 copies and then lay them out 3x3 on the large white board. Let children can arrange them how they like before gluing.
