To Make a Pop Art Coffee Mug You Will Need:

A Large Coffee Mug (Plain works best so you have lots of room to decorate)\
Ceramic Paints
Small round paintbrushes

To start you need to purchase a coffee mug suitable for this craft project. I recommend a coffee mug in a solid color. The bigger the mug, the more room for some Pop Art work.

To get some inspiration for Pop Art here is a quick explanation of what it is. Pop art was a artistic movement that became known world wide in the late 1950s. It became popular in England and the United States. Pop Art is Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from advertising and comic books. Basically evryday objects we are exposed to.

Pop art is acesible and open to everyone. Unlike many art styles before it., Pop art appeals to a broad audience, purposely so, and is widely known. Almost everyoen knows of Andy Warhol and his infmaous Campbell’s Soup Cans.

Basically, you can find inspiration for your Pop Art mugs everyewhere. From a class picture to the box of Cheerios on the kitchen table. Pop Art lets you get inspired by your enivroment during this craft project.

I like to paint with small dots or points on the mug for this craft project. The inspiration comes from comic books and Andy Warhol.

Let the kids paint an outline of their Pop Art inspiration on their mug. They should paint this in black cemraic paint so that they can add color later.
