Art Work

L.I To use the steps of making simple pop art to make pop art. 

Today I did pop art. We had to use four easy simple steps to making pop art. We first had a photocopy of ourselves so we can trace all the dark bits. Once we traced all of them we had to sketch our photocopied face on the back of the page, we had to make sure the lines were fat. Next we had our photocopied face taped to a blank A4 Paper. We then had to get a red pen and trace over the blue very hard so it will transfer to the blank A4 Paper. Then once our face was transferred to the A4 paper we had to color in the white parts that was shown in our photocopied face. After that we had to paint the parts that you didn't color in with the pastel. Then for our final and last step we had to trace over all the penciled lines with vivid. Once we were done with all our art work, it really stood out and looked like actual pop art.

I learned by following the four simple and easy steps for pop art. It looked really good with the paint, the pastel, and the vivid to make it stand out.
