Pop Art

The full climb — from why a soup can ended up on a gallery wall, all the way to pulling your own off-register screenprint. Four short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromFlip a soup can between shelf and gallery wall, and feel what a frame does. 2 How to do itRepeat one icon across a grid and recolour each cell — the Warhol move. 3 Where it gets trickySlide the same image between "celebrate" and "critique" and watch meaning flip. 4 Out in the wildMeet Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg & Kusama, then stack your own print.
