That way when the art show comes in the Spring, I have quite a variety of Pop Art projects to display. I do introduce all my classes to at least 6 different Pop artists. Each class then concentrates on a specific one. ******************************************************************************* Claes Oldenberg - Angry Birds and large pieces of food ******************************************************************************* Click on Claes Oldenberg to learn more about him. ******************************************************************************* Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein - technology ******************************************************************************* This is where I like to introduce technology.
