Digital Pop Art Portraits

 

For this assignment, the 4th graders were introduced to a program called Image Blender. We used Image Blender to create digital Pop Art portraits of famous historical portraits.  Image Blender is similar to Photoshop, but accessible to elementary age children. After examining Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe print and Campbell's Soup Cans prints, I demonstrated the creation of a digital Pop Art portraits.

 

It was awesome witnessing this young generation of students so excited to be learning about digital art and utilizing technology to create their own art. Students who were more familiar with technology were eager to help those students who weren't as tech savvy. The project was a huge success and my students seemed to thoroughly enjoy holding art class outside of our art room. Check out their work below!

 

   

Students who finished their pieces early were challenged to create a second digital art piece utilizing other filters found in Image Blender.
