Pattern POP trees with Andy Warhol





Discussion: Pattern, Stripes and stars
To have a pattern with stripes, they must repeat. 
Where do we find stripes? what animals have stripes?
Do tree’s have stripes? where are they?
Horizontal, this word means side to side or across. 

Show Warhol’s Tiiffany and Co work of the stripes tree with stars
What do you think of this piece?
Does it remind you of anything?
Where do we find stars?
