High [9th-12th] Lesson Plan

Sets of 4 Warhol Prints

Pop art lesson plan focusing on Warhol. Students will create 4 drawings using a hand transfer process. A discussion on pop culture and its influences is a great way to help students choose their subject.

THE PLAN
5 sessions; 60 minutes per session
OBJECTIVES:
KNOWLEDGE: Facts. Students learn that… pop artist Andy Warhol created portraits using the method of screen printing (silk screen), displaying his work in sets of 4 multicolored prints.

SKILL: Psychomotor. The students learn how to…create portrait drawing that will then be transferred (using pencil and crayon transfer process) 4 times to create a set of 4 prints (each in a different color).

ATTITUDE: Affective. The students learn to (or to be)… more aware of how popular culture influences the work of artists not only from the Pop Art movement but the art of today as well.
paper, pencils, window or light board, erasers, crayons, colored pencils, markers, sharpies.

1. Students draw out a portrait or image on 8x10" paper in pencil.
2. Once drawn, student use window or light board to trace 3 more copies of the drawing. You could also use the pencil transfer technique to make the copies.
3. When students have 4 good copies of their drawing, they can begin to color in with what ever material suits them (markers work best, but colored pencils and sharpies look nice too).
4. Make sure each drawing uses different colors to create the varied and exagerated Warhol look. 5. Students can then mount the finished drawings onto black paper to display in a set of four!

    I am wondering about a very easy silk screen method for the picture transfers? I have done something like this with paint and drawing materials, but didn't Warhol mostly work in mass production prints?
