The experience

It’s likely that you may not have a tin of Campbell's soup in your home, so you get to pick something different. Maybe a tin of beans, a ketchup bottle, a coffee jar? You can then explore:

• What colours can we see? What size is it?
• What shapes can we see?
• What letters can we see on the label?

Then get creative in copying the item onto paper, adaptations are fine and a change in colour is ideal - you can create your own version of Warhol’s famous pop art!
