Pop Art Bear Drawing Project

If you're looking for a fun Pop Art lesson for elementary students, this Pop Art Bear Drawing Project is a great way to introduce students to bold colors, patterns, and creative design.

Students begin by learning about Pop Art artists such as Romero Britto, Keith Haring, and Takashi Murakami. They then follow a guided step-by-step drawing lesson to create their own patterned bear using bright colors, bold outlines, and repeating designs.

The lesson includes:

• an animated Google Slides presentation
• step-by-step drawing instructions
• a pattern ideas reference page
• teacher directions and slide notes
• a student rubric

Because the instructions are clearly structured, the lesson is easy to follow and works well for grades 1–5, even for substitute teachers. Most classes can complete the project in 1–2 class periods, and the finished artwork is always colorful and unique.

Painted Crayons

Found some pictures of the crayons students from my Art Club and I painted back in 2012-13.  Each crayon represented the schools PBIS themed of Respect Self, Learning, Others, Property, and Environment (SLOPE).
