It's been awhile since I've posted a famous artist inspired explore art project. Here's a project Cy worked on individually and I also held a class on. Jasper Johns Alphabet art with a look at pop art.
Let's start out with a little discussion and a few images to look at:




printmaking and collage. Johns was an American Pop artist he used everyday objects to make art. What do you see?

other Pop artist. Look at this picture can you tell me what it is?
Today's project:
The last image, Jasper Johns "Colored Alphabet" is the inspiration for today's art project.

- Large paper (18 X 24)
- Paints (note Cy was using tube acrylic after begging for Mommy's paints, crayola washable paints would work just as well with this project)
- Magazine pages torn out
- Alphabet post its (found at the dollar tree-great score!)
- Not pictured scissors and glue stick







This was a great project to introduce children to pop art and ways to find the everyday in art making. Working with the alphabet is something they will feel comfortable with and have a little fun. Talk with them as they work about finding and naming the letters, Cy enjoyed singing the alphabet song over and over again!
