Color Theory Colors used to create all other colors by mixing them. Red, Yellow, Blue

Harmony All elements of the visual image relate to each other. It can be achieved through pattern involving repetition.

Create your own Lichtenstein inspired artwork! Research & Brainstorm Students take a selfie or photo of each other Students edit the photo by turning it black & white and print it Students outline major lines of the body/face on white drawing paper (looks like a contour line drawing) Students write a positive message and draw a word cloud around it

Create your own Lichtenstein inspired artwork! Students create a Lichtenstein “dot matrix” by dipping a pencil eraser in damp (red, yellow, orange) damp watercolor paint and stamping it onto the skin and/or create a background pattern Students paint the rest of the picture with watercolor paint After the painting dries, students retrace black lines with a permanent marker to make them bolder and add detail lines
