Selfportrait like Roy Lichtenstein

In my school we keep artwork at school until the of the school year. Students make a portfolio in june to take their work home. On front of it is a drawing in the style of one of the art movements we studied that year. 
These are the grade 6 Popart portfolio folders with a self portrait in the style of Roy Lichtenstein. 

What do you need? 
For the folder: paper A1 size, folded in half
For the drawing

  • white drawing sheet 
  • markers
  • skin color pencils 
  • fine black marker 
About the artist
Show artwork of Lichtenstein and discuss the important features: use of primary colors (sometimes with green), grid dots, black outlines, speech bubbles and slogans (onomatopoeia).
