The Grade 5 artists have been learning all about pop art and how popular culture influences not only our daily lives, but contemporary artwork as well. Students have just begun a pop art self-portrait. We start by taking a picture of each student and then tracing just the outline or contour of their facial features on to our good copy paper. Students will then use an old optical illusion called Benday dots to fill in their face. Pulp   comic books   of the 1950s and 1960s used Ben-Day dots in the four process colors ( cyan, magenta, yellow and black ) to inexpensively create   shading   and secondary colors   such as green, purple, orange and flesh tones . Below is an example of what we will be creating. This will be their first painting project of the year.
