In our pop art lesson, we explored the works of American artist Roy Lichtenstein. Students learned about the defining features of his art, including his iconic Mickey Mouse illustrations, comic book-style lettering, and, most importantly, the use of Ben-Day dots. After analyzing 40 selected artworks, each student chose the piece that resonated most with them. They then recreated or adapted the artwork, experimenting with Lichtenstein’s techniques. Some chose to faithfully replicate the originals, while others added their own creative twists, producing a diverse and dynamic collection of pieces. I was incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and creativity throughout the lesson.
