Before and After Survey
Zee Ann Poerio created this survey to introduce her students to the Warhol Museum. Students answered questions about Andy Warhol and what they might see, then drew self-portraits. After the visit, students filled out a follow-up survey, drawing their self-portraits in the style of either Warhol or special exhibition artist Jean Cocteau.
