an iPad QuickLesson by Jacob Woolcock

Description

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!

Teacher Notes

This activity is the perfect continuation of a unit of learning where you’ve been studying Andy Warhol or the Pop Art movement itself. If a Self Portrait isn’t taking your fancy, perhaps you could photograph an object in the classroom and use that as your subject matter – just like Warhol did with his Soup!

It also creates opportunities for self reflection as the students will be creating a stylised version of themselves which they believe represents who they are. The colour choices, expression and composition can all be fine tuned to best represent the student who is creating the image.
