Summary:
Lynda Abraham-Braff and Carol Bell, teachers at Wesley Highland School, an approved private school that integrates special education and intensive behavioral health services for children diagnosed with emotional disturbances, adapted the lessons in the Collecting Unit in order to address their students’ needs and interests. Their adaptations provided an excellent opportunity for students to practice their interpersonal skills while researching their own youth culture. Students used Andy Warhol’s methods of collecting as a springboard for their own projects. They interviewed adults in their school and created various collections of voices, text and objects.
Adaptations:
Multimedia Exhibition:
Using personal, professional, and institutional categories to guide their steps, students created a final multimedia exhibition. The exhibition featured silkscreen prints of their collected objects, an edited audio component and wooden boxes built by students for display purposes. Students conducted tours of their exhibition during an open house reception for parents and peers.
