Pop Art Flowers

These hand drawn flowers by my 3rd graders are done in the pop art style.  The thick black lines were done with black sharpie and the bright, bold colors were done in marker.

We began in the middle of the paper drawing in sharpie, making each line thick!  I asked students to "cluster" their flowers, showing me some overlapping.  They did some experimenting with the markers and blending of colors with this medium.

Galler Flowers

After looking at the floral work by artist Heather Galler, (you can find her work HERE), students created a container and painted circles for the flowers in paint to get the background colors in.  They used oil pastels on top of the Alpha Biggie Tempera paint to create all the details.  I just love using these two mediums together.  Take a look at our results!  I got some interesting containers!
