Artist Study: Andy Warhol

I had never taught Andy Warhol to kindergarteners and first graders. I was inspired by the great book Uncle Andy's, written by Warhol's nephew James. The kids really connected to the story, even more so once they learned it was a true story!

We then looked at Warhol's iconic soup can art. I took out some real cans of Cambell's tomato soup and after a quick lesson on perspective, they began. I was really pleased with the results. Both first graders who are mastering letter formation and kindergarteners who are just learning their letters were able to succeed in this fun project! (Plus they looked great all up on the bulletin board!)
