Year 5/6 Pop Art Creations

Our Year 5/6 students have been diving into the bold, bright, and energetic world of Pop Art, taking inspiration from one of the movement's most iconic figures: Andy Warhol. After exploring Warhol’s famous Campbell’s Soup Cans, students experimented with vivid colours, repeated patterns, and striking contrasts to create their own modern interpretations.

This project has sparked lots of excitement in the classroom. Students have been experimenting with colour combinations, coming up with interesting and hilarious versions of soup, and discovering how Pop Art celebrates the ordinary in extraordinary ways. The process has been both creative and fun, with plenty of laughter and “Wow!” moments as artworks took shape.

We invite you to take a closer look at their incredible creations below. You’ll see just how much personality, imagination, and energy each student has poured into their work.
