POP ART PoRTRAiTs
DC vs. Marvel
Heros vs. Villains
Students chose one of these characters to enlarge and create through a large grid drawing and then eventually...a painting.
*We do not take credit for the original character design/renditions... We are using these images for educational purposes*
Process: We did a small, basic, black and white grid drawing first. We went over measurement, proportion, and relationships of shapes and angles of lines within each box.
We then went over Pop art and some of the artists at that time...Warhol, Oldenburg, & Lichtenstein to name a couple. For this theme in particular, I showed them some of the characteristics of pop art and comic drawing to look for when choosing their reference image.
They print out their image and draw from the edge of the photo a 1" grid across the whole thing. On some, the kids had to decide to crop or add on edges to get an even measurement. They also had to add in the characters name somewhere in a comic style. They outline areas of values so that it is a clear shape to draw. (especially if the photo is of a realistic person instead of a flattened comic version)
Then they did a 3" grid on a larger piece of paper (IN VERY LIGHT LINES!!!!) so that it would enlarge with correct proportions. They then draw an outlined version of their character. It will look similar to a paint by number when finished.
During painting- we went over color combinations and blending, painting techniques, and where to add a signature. They choose paint colors, some were true to the photograph, some were modified.
