The crayon will resist the water paint, so your shower will be very clear!

The flowers of Andy Warhol
You need:
- black construction paper A4 size
- brushes
- tempera paint
- scraps of colored paper
- scissors
- glue
Andy Warhol (1928-1897) was an American painter, photographer and filmaker. He started his working life as an advertising artist and became an artist in the early 1960's. He introduced everyday consumer products into his artwork, such as Campbell's soup cans and Coco Cola bottles.
Warhol is one of the leading artists of Pop art.
Using printing techniques he created large series of works of Marilyn Monroe or political themes such as the electric chair. Warhol used photographs of others to edit.
The Flowers series clearly show how Warhol applied the silkscreen printing technique. We see the flowers of the rare Hibiscus fragilus.
The Flowers series are also seen as Warhol's answer toe Van Gogh's famous paintings of sunflowers and Claude Monet's artworks of water lilies.
Stamp green and yellow tempera on a black sheet of paper leaving about one inch of the edges black. Let dry.
Cut at least four flowers with five petals from scraps of colored paper. Do not draw in first, but cut by hand. Stick the flowers on the black sheet. No overlap.
Elements of art: shape, color
