Andy Warhol Influenced Self-Portraits

Jasmine M

We used coloured highlighters to colour B&W photocopied photographs in the manner of Andy Warhol.
We created the background with rectangles of coloured paper glued onto a larger A4 coloured sheet.
The kids experimented with colour combinations, creating 6 different pictures of which they chose their favourite 4 to mount onto their backgrounds.

These were such a lot of fun to do - the kids love using the flourescent highlighters, and I love gently encouraging them away from the idea that colours have to be realistic!
