Comic Strip Art
Lichtenstein made paintings
inspired by comics but…
…unlike the paintings, they are
enormous!

technique…
…to build up colour and
texture like a comic book.

colours in his paintings.

Your task is to create a piece of artwork in the style of Roy Lichtenstein.
In lots of his art work, he draws everyday items and makes the look like they are from a comic strip. You could draw an object from your house or maybe a scene from a room in your home.
Remember to use dots to create texture and bright colours like Lichtenstein. You could use colour pencils, pens or paints.
