What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Learn that art doesn’t have to be perfect! Warhol’s method encourages trial and error. Since the ink blot lines can be unpredictable, children learn to adapt, work with unexpected results, and turn ‘mistakes’ into part of the artwork. It’s about exploring ideas and enjoying the process.
Learn the printing technique that transfers ink from one surface to another. This introduces them to foundational ideas in art reproduction and design.
Gain confidence by seeing a clear outcome from their efforts by following the step-by-step method, even if it looks different each time.
Begin to understand how mirrored images work and how composition changes with pressure, placement, and ink application.
Learn about Andy Warhol and his art style and techniques.
