Celebrating August with a Pop Art Birthday

HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY to Andy Warhol today! Did you know Warhol’s first commission work when he was an early commercial /advertising artist was for Glamour magazine in the 1940’s?!

FUN POP ART FACT for August: Warhol was famously known as the “Pope of Pop” & created more than 50 collaborative works with Jean-Michel Basquiat between 1984-1986

CCA is always taking inspiration from Modern & Contemporary Artists in our Art Adventure programs. We love POP ART! Check out past art a la Pop & by liking us on Facebook and Twitter!

Pop Art Self Portraits!

We’re “popping” into this final summer month with inspirational art museum adventures (to check out all of the Pop Artists of the 1960’s & 70’s) and big art plans for the fall!

Faces, Faces Everywhere!

We have taken much inspiration from artists of both past and present recently!  Using multiple paper materials, model magic and even recycled products, our adventurers created face sculptures as inspired by french contemporary artist, Junior Fritz Jacquet (check out his work HERE) and silly “Pop Art” masks as inspired by Roy Lichtenstein!
