Pop Art Sardines: A Study of W. Kevin Murray's Art




 
Saw this really cool POP ART Sardine Picture on http://www.ebsqart.com/Artist/W-Kevin-Murray/1446/Artist-Winning-Entries/pop-sardines/83274/ So, I researched the artist  W. Kevin Murray's Art. He has an Etsy store. Click here to check it out. This piece of art won Member's Mention award in the art exhibit Ripped Off '04...I just thought it was so cool and a great way to introduce use of oil pastels to Middle School Kids. We covered many Elements and Principles of Art with this lesson.
Directions:
12x18 colored construction paper
Assorted Oil Pastels
Elements and Principle Bulletin Board
Must have 10 overlapping sardines
Must use more that 2 colors per fish
Blend and smear for differing effects
Some chose to paint the background with Tempera Paint
Happy Friday
1969
