Pop Art Facts -
Fact #1: It was called Pop Art because the subject in the painting was popular
Fact #2: Pop Art started in London in the mid-1950's - they called it Propaganda Art instead of Pop Art
Fact #3: Pop Art in the United States was an expression of the optimistic spirit of the 1960's

In these two hour classes, art teacher, Penny Craven, will demonstrate and discuss the life and careers of the artists.
All art materials are provided, all the children need is to "dress for mess"
These classes fill up very fast, so call today to be put on our mailing list!

These classes are supported by the North Carolina Arts Council with funding from the state of North Carolina and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
