GLE:
Students this week you are working on a comic book inspired piece of art work in the style of Roy Lichtenstein using the grid method in marker.
Artist of the Week:
Roy Lichtenstein
Roy Lichtenstein (October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was a prominent American pop artist. During the 1960s his paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City and along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, James Rosenquist and others he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the basic premise of pop art better than any other through parody. Favoring the old-fashioned comic strip as subject matter, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He himself described Pop Art as, "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".
Today's Mission:
Students today you will take your pop art image you sketched out yesterday and transfer it to your paper of the week. Remember to take your time in the transfer process so you can begin to add color via marker to your image.
