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!
