START WITH ART: Sandwich and Soda

This takes us less than five minutes each morning and tends to be re-visited later in the day at the dinner table or during our evening reading sessions. 

Here's how to #STARTWITHART:

Step one: Take a look at the artwork below

Step two: Read the questions below the picture of the art to the students/children in your life

Step three: See how starting your day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking! 

It's that easy!

Title: Sandwich and Soda

Artist: Roy Lichtenstein

Date: 1964

Medium: Color screenprint on mylar

Dimensions: 50.8 × 61 cm

Start with Art Questions:

• How does the artist’s use of bold colors and simple shapes make the sandwich and soda look almost like a cartoon or comic book scene?

• What do you notice about the dots on the print? What do they convey

• If you could add another item to this meal, like a dessert or a side dish, what would it be, and how would you make it fit with the bright, pop art style?
