Art Break: Wow! Pow! Pop Art!
Olivia Martinez
Tuition $225
Code ZSK1302-24
Together we’ll gain inspiration from famous artists who were a part of the American Pop Art movement. This includes the Band-Aid dot paintings of Roy Lichtenstein and his comic book imagery, Jim Dine’s energetic hearts, Andy Warhol’s prints and portraits, and Claes Oldenburg’s giant colorful sculptures of everyday objects. A wide range of artistic media will be incorporated such as papier-mâché, construction paper, paint, chalk, and fabric to create bold, bright, and beautiful artistic creations. Art Breaks are an exciting program at Anderson Ranch Arts Center for kids ages 7-10. They are scheduled to complement breaks in the elementary school calendar throughout the year. Drop off and pick up will take place at the Evelyn and Martin Siegel Children’s Building, just inside the main Anderson Ranch entrance. Children should come prepared with a snack, lunch, water bottle, and appropriate apparel for a full day of art-making.
