Pop Art Portraits

Jub Jub Club Group Exhibition

'Pop Art Portraits' is the Jub Jub Club's very first group exhibition. On Sunday 26th June, Lucy Sharp the Jub Jub convenor taught the members all about the 1960's Pop Art movement with relevant examples from artists such as Andy Warhol. The children then created their very own self portraits with the aid of a small mirror. The Portraits were then scanned into the computer, manipulated, and duplicated several times. Each member then had four copies of their own portrait to paint in the famous Pop Art style with an emphasis on bright, bold, block colours.

The Jub Jub Club is a membership programme for young people (aged 7-13). As part of the programme the Gallery hosts activities every second Sunday afternoon from 1.30-3.30pm. The Jub Jub Club seeks to provide a series of art/culture based experiences for young people. This includes hands on activities such as painting, sculpture, photography and craft based activities as well as opportunities to engage with and respond to artists and exhibitions. This exhibition is opening on Friday 15th July and is available for viewing until Sunday 31st July.
