Roy Lichtenstein (1923 - 1997) was an
American popart artist.
He is best known for his enormously enlarged cartoons. After
his art studies in New York and Columbus Liechtenstein teached art himself. In his spare time
he painted abstract paintings and made parodies of American art from the twenties. In1960 he came into contact with Claes Oldenburg and the style elements from advertising and comic strips. He started to use use grids, dots, black outlines and bright colours, the style who made him famous.
From 1962 Lichtenstein used the works of Monet, Picasso
and Mondrian as the inspiration for his art and he paints sunsets in their style. Most of his work however
is based on advertisements and cartoons.
Show artwork of Liechtenstein on the digital board and discuss the characteristics: primary colours sometimes with green,
text
balloons, raster
dots as we know from newspaper photographs and thick black outlines. Show
at the end the work 'Sunrise'.
Ask students how they can recognize this work as a Lichtenstein.
The students are instructed to paint a sunrise in the style of Lichtenstein. All Lichtenstein characteristics as discussed so, have to be seen in their painting.
Artworks are made by students of grade 5

Your student samples are lovely! Thanks for the shout-out - it's a fun lesson, isn't it? So joyful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis year we used pencil erasers as stampers for the dots and they worked GREAT!
I did the other lesson too Phil, with the text balloons. Kids aren't ready yet, but I'll post when they are - with another shout-out of course ;)
