ANDY WARHOL – VALENTINE’S DAY LP 2

• PowerPoint pres. (Andy Warhol)

• Repeated heart template (pasted onto coloured construction paper)
• Plates or recycled egg cartons (paint palette)
• Paint brushes
• Popsicle sticks (for transferring and mixing paint)
• Cups (for water)
• Tempura or acrylic paint (blue, red, white)
• Plates (for students to mix paint on)
• Papertowel/rags

Introduction:
Presentation (5 min)
Start by introducing artist Andy Warhol. Who was he? What was his medium? What kind
of things did they paint? HOW did they paint? Explain pointillism using slideshow
presentation.
Today we will be making paintings for Valentine’s Day that are similar to Warhol’s work.

Body:
Setup (5-10 min)
Have students label off A, B, C, D at each of their table groups. Advise students that they
cannot touch any of the materials until they are told to do so.
Have A collect heart templates and paint brushes for each of their group members.
HAVE PREPARED AHEAD OF TIME – one egg carton per group with red, blue, and white
paint.
Popsicle sticks for each colour.
Have B student come collect one for their group. Have C come gather plates (one per
student). Have D collect cups of water (1 for 2 people) for cleaning brushes.
Activity (1 hour)
Students are to paint in each heart. No two hearts can be the same colour. This is to
help them practice and experiment with colour mixing.
RULES:
- DO NOT dip the same popsicle stick in different colours as it will mess with the
original. Students use popsicle sticks to transfer paint to their plates.
- They mix paint on their plates, using their brushes.

Closure:
Remind students of how much time they have left to finish. Once there is 10 minutes, tell them
that they need to start finishing up their paintings
