Minions, Minions Everywhere .....

Over the recent school break it seems that nearly all my kids saw (and loved!) the new Despicable Me 2 movie! So what better subject for a Pop Art-style painting?

We watched the Youtube 'Minions Banana Song', which the kids thought was hilarious...
(with a brief discussion along the lines of "of course WE know that hitting each other is not the way to solve a problem, but these Minions just don't know any better ..." :))



Then we planned out our composition, using milk bottle lids as a template for the eyes - this kept the minions large in the page. We went over all our lines with black oil pastel before painting with chromacryl paints.
Thanks Charlotte for sharing your great painting! Gotta love the Minions!!

Cat Paper Sculptures (thank you Andy Warhol!)

After admiring some of Pop artist Andy Warhol's cats (see selection below) we made Cat Sculptures using slotted cardboard. Like Andy's 25 Cats named Sam, our cats are brightly coloured and each has a very unique personality!

From '25 Cats Name Same and One Blue Pussy' by Andy Warhol:

We loved looking at examples of Burton Morris’ explosive Pop Art. We created our own with Crayola color sticks (the best thing since sliced bread!) and cut paper. Thanks Donna Woodrow on Artsonia for a great idea. The kids loved it!
