Pop Art Self Portrait
an iPad QuickLesson by Jacob Woolcock
For this #QuickLesson we’ll learn how to use Keynote to trace over a selfie and then we’ll use some clever techniques to transform this pencil drawing into a vivid and vibrant Pop Art Self Portrait, inspired by artists such as Andy Warhol. This tutorial is easy to follow and is guaranteed to create some great fun outcomes by the end.
So grab an iPad – or maybe get your class to grab their iPads – and let’s get started!

Our Year 3 children loved the challenge of creating digital pop art using #AppleKeynote and their iPad. Mrs C loves the colour choices, the details and was impressed with the creative digital skills evident in the images 🤩 #digitalart #popart #AppleDistinguishedSchool @AppleEDU pic.twitter.com/wtRvcxQSVo

Here’s some pop art which I started, then Mel took over and a student finished it off. Thanks for your video @JacobWoolcock no doubt the students will create their own at some point. What a great activity. #everyonecancreate #Appleteacher pic.twitter.com/cWvyDnmyEz
