Pop Art

We spent nearly the whole day working on Pop Art projects. We learned a little about the works of Andy Warhol, a well-known Pop Artist. Basically, Pop Art became popular in the United States in the 60's. Pop Art uses images of everyday objects to portray elements of popular culture. People, celebrities, popular items and comic strips were used as subjects for Pop Art.

Our art project consisted of putting together images using the computer. We then edited the photos using effects such as changing the photos to black and white, adding colorization, texture, artistic effects, and distortion. Once the children were happy with their photo designs and layouts, we then printed them on iron-on transfer paper for t-shirts. Finally, we ironed the images onto shirts. Yes, it took us all day to complete the project but hopefully, you mothers are happy with the finished product.

I sent home some articles yesterday, along with a checklist of some of the objectives that we've covered this year. I hope that you find the information helpful. It has been a joy to work watch each child grow and develop this year. I grow along with them. Thank you again for sharing them with me. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.

Next week is water day. We will be going outside to play in the sprinklers as long as there are no thunderstorms. Please send your children dressed in swimsuits with sunscreen already applied. Also, don't forget towels and a change of clothing. Thanks!

Oh, and thank you to Andrew and Ms. Laura for providing us with a delicious pizza lunch yesterday. What a treat for all of us!
