Self Portraits, Andy Warhol Style
Today I had 10 kids over to learn about Andy Warhol and Pop Art. I used this lesson plan, if you want to try it at your house!
I had all the moms send me pictures of the kids with a light background, and I changed them to black and white, heightened the contrast, and printed four on a page. Then, in the style of his Marilyns (and many others, I was surprised!) we painted our own with watercolors. I took a photo of me and my kids because I didn't get permission from everyone else to post their kids, but you can imagine it I'm sure!

Looks like a lot of fun. I might not be a home schooler, but I think I could still fit this in as a fun weekend project.
I never knew that Andy Warhol shares my hubby's birthday. That explains waaaay too much.
