Easter Egg Ideas: Pop Art Inspired Eggs Part 2

March 27, 2015 by Abby Davis

Yesterday I showed you how to make two different egg designs inspired by contemporary arts and here are two more!

SUPPLIES:

  • Acrylic craft paint in a variety of colors, including black and gold
  • Small soft paint brushes
  • Mod Podge Gloss or similar sealer
  • Plate – For a paint palette
  • Wax paper
  • Cereal or similar box
  • Scissors
  • Gold paint marker
  • Cup of water and paper towels – To wash the brushes

Roy Lichtenstein – His comic book inspired pop art is a great way to incorporate graphic artwork onto a plastic egg. Looking through his artwork, I noticed yellow, white highlights, black lines, and black dots are commonly used, so I chose to incorporate those for this yellow egg.

Contemporary Art Easter Eggs ROY LICHTENSTEIN

  • With a fine paint brush and white paint, create an oval on a top side, making sure it’s even. This will be a highlight, as if a light source was coming from that top side. Let dry.
  • With a fine paint brush and black, create a long oval on the opposite bottom side, making sure it’s even. This will be the shadow, opposite the highlight. Let dry.
  • With a fine paint brush and black, outline the white oval. Let dry.
  • Using the handle end and black, create even dots that curve along the egg shape. Let dry.
  • With a fine paint brush and black, create straight lines around the shadow area, leaving even spaces of yellow. This gives the effect of a gradient shadow and more comic book details. Let dry.
  • With a flat paint brush and Mod Podge Gloss, carefully seal the artwork, making sure no paint shifts around.

 

Peter Max – His artwork is evocative of the psychedelic 60s culture. Going with the psychedelic theme, I used curving shapes and lines. Cosmic, radiating lines, and gradation would also evoke his work. I used a bright green egg, blue, turquoise, purple, lilac, and green paints.

  • Using a fine paint brush and blue, paint a curving long shape that goes from the top to the bottom, wrapping around the egg. Inside of that shape, use turquoise to paint a line butting up the 1st line. Repeat, alternating colors, until the shape is filled. Let dry.
  • Using a fine paint brush, purple, and lilac paints, repeat this style painting on a different egg section, to fill in the egg more. Let dry.
  • Using a fine paint brush and green paint, create lines to fill in the remaining space, letting the bright green egg color serve as the contrasting stripe. Let dry.
  • With a flat paint brush and Mod Podge Gloss, carefully seal the artwork, making sure no paint shifts around.
