About the activity:
Roy Lichtenstein worked and lived in New York City as a Pop Art painter. He made paintings of comic strip cartoons, everyday objects, and scenes from life. In his work, he uses the four colors used in printers at the time: black, red, yellow, and blue. With these colors, he used a printing technique called the Ben-Day dot process, where small dots were used to create the optical illusion of a specific color. For example, red and yellow dots were layered together closely to create orange. Lichtenstein’s paintings used this technique to make his paintings look like comic book images.
