Our Lady of Sacred Heart Bentleigh

Faces
  • This was a Year 8 Term 4 painting activity. 
  • The students looked at Pop Art and examples of Tonal Drop-out. Andy Warhol’s Silk Screen Prints of famous people such as Marilyn Monroe were used for inspiration.
  • Students were asked to find an image of one of their screen or song idols, either from a magazine or from the internet.
  • They enlarged this to A3 size using Adobe Photoshop and then printed it in black and white to reduce the tones.
  • This image was then transferred using pencil onto an A3 (14 x 10inch) piece of canvas board.
  • They were then asked to paint the image using flat, bright non-realistic acrylic colours.
