Created
by the Teacher Advisory Board and education staff, these lesson plans
are aligned with the Pennsylvania Arts and Humanities Standards and introduce
students to Warhol's themes and techniques.

|
||
| Pop Portraits | ||
|
Students
will examine and understand different facets of fame in American culture
through the creation of a contemporary pop portrait based on the art of
Andy Warhol. This lesson outlines Warhol's two-layer silkscreen process,
which he used to create some of his most famous iconic portraits. Based
on an adaptation of this process, students will use collage techniques
to create variety in their own serial images.

Andy Warhol first experimented with a special type of line drawing known
as the blotted line technique while still a college student in Pittsburgh.
As a commercial artist in the 1950s, Andy used this technique to create
illustrations of everything from luxury cars to fanciful animals. In this
lesson students use their own drawings of animals to create original block
prints, then use these prints to creat blotted line drawings based on Warhol's
technique. Read More |

| Shoe Stamping Party | ||
| Andy
Warhol became quite well known in New York for his imaginative illustrations
of shoes. Warhol would combine his blotted line inking technique with rubber
stamping to create whimsical designs. In this lesson students use stamping
techniques to explore elements of pattern, texture, and color to create
their own rubber stamping shoe designs using Andy Warhol's commercial artwork
for inspiration. Read More |

While
Warhol is best known for his Pop art and films, his interest in nature
was lifelong, beginning when he was a child in Pittsburgh drawing animals
in science class at Holmes School, keeping a flower garden in the family's
yard, and drawing in Schenley Park and Phipps Conservatory. In this lesson
students look at Warhol's Endangered Species prints for inspiration
to create a portrait of an endangered animal of their choice. Students
then use their artwork for a class "call-to-action" project
to raise awareness of the plight of these animals.
