  in New York City. There are many up-and-coming

  Pop Art. You need to view paintings by several
  artists and decide which pieces will be best for
  the display.

  together to learn about Pop Art and decide how to
  present Pop Art in the gallery for public
  viewing.

  fill the gallery for a big opening night. The
  final project will be a poster of several Pop Art
  pieces chosen and displayed by your team.
