How did Warhol turn soup into art?

Meet the prince of Pop Art: Andy Warhol.

He took everyday things like soup cans, soda bottles, and movie stars, and made them into bold, unforgettable art.

Warhol blurred the line between fame and creativity. Between art and advertising. Between genius and… a really good marketing plan.

And that’s exactly why he’s one of our 35 featured Masters.

His work didn’t just decorate galleries.

It changed how people saw art—and how they saw the world around them.

Now your students get to step into Warhol’s world.

They’ll learn:

• What Pop Art is (and why it matters)
• How to use bold color, repetition, and contrast
• The power of printing techniques like silkscreen
• Why everyday objects can tell powerful stories
• How to spot emotion in unexpected places

Then they’ll create their own Warhol-style masterpiece: using tissue squares, markers, and construction paper. 

It’s bold, graphic, and fun.

Students love the contrast and color. And it’s a great way to blend drawing with a printing-like feel.
