Pop art projects are one of the best art-inspired activities to do at home with the kids, especially if you want to start adding some educational content to your kid's crafting sessions.
We're taking inspiration from one of our favourite artists of this movement, Andy Warhol, and his iconic silkscreen prints for today's art project.
Pop Art began in Britain during the 50s but really picked up momentum during the cultural change in America during the 60s, becoming a key part of re-shaping the concept of visual arts as a whole.
Thanks to artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Peter Blake, and many others, the pop art movement pulled inspiration from mass-produced items, ads, comic books, newspapers, celebrity-culture, and consumerism.
With groundbreaking new techniques to produce artwork in series, this movement re-defined what we considered art and still influences current artists.
With this in mind, we are so excited to share with you our take on Christmas themed pop art, with this fun Santa pop art for kids.
Check out more of our pop art projects! We have this super cute Andy Warhol Art for Kids, this Apple Stamping Pop Art and this easy Leaf Printing Pop Art!

STEP 2: Colour-time
Now it is time to colour the template! You can use markers, pencils, watercolors, and any other medium you have at hand for this step. Colour each of the Santa's hats as well as the background behind each Santa.
STEP 3: Make your background POP!
Because this is an Andy Warhol-inspired craft, we encourage you to use some contrasting, vibrant colours for the background to keep up with the pop art theme.
STEP 4: Final Touches
Cut off the border of the template once your Santas are complete. If your kids want to add some extra glitz, you can always add beads, glitter or any other decoration you have around. We used some cotton balls to give Santa's beard a 3D effect and it looked awesome!
And just like that, your Pop-Art inspired Santa Claus craft is all done! Now all you have to do is display your art work with pride or turn it into a Christmas card and write a cute message inside.
