Referring to a reference can or a picture, students each drew a large, highly detailed soda can.
When the soda can drawings were complete, students painted their can. We discussed hard edge painting as well as color mixing. Each student mixed their own colors and created an individual Pop Art painting based on Andy Warhol's soup can series.
