Explore Warhol’s “Endangered Species” Pop Art Collection with our art history curriculum — perfect for preschoolers through elementary students.
Look at Andy Warhol’s art of Marilyn Monroe, a popular person when Warhol was creating art! After explaining that “popular” means lots of people like him/her, ask questions, such as:
- What colors do you see?
- What types of characters are popular now? (Think Donald Duck, Superman, etc.)
- Who are your favorite popular characters?
- What shapes do you see?
Children love coloring with the oil pastels. Oil pastels, especially these, go on so much smoother than crayons do. Plus, it’s great to introduce the kids to new materials, especially since Andy Warhol used oil pastels in some of his art!
