Warhol Museum
Mary Tremonte, Artist Educator, Andy Warhol Museum
Summary:
Mario Rossero and artist educators Peter Burr and Mary Tremonte worked
together with his 4th grade students to use critical response and Warhol’s
work as a springboard for their Art Garden Project. This collaboration
more than any of the others strayed from the original lesson plan in
methodology but created very positive results in student learning.
Adaptations:
Mr. Rossero chose to focus upon Warhol’s prints, the Myth series.
He used the first two steps to introduce the role of the critic and
to identify tastes and biases while looking at the Myth prints. The
class focused upon the vocabulary words: Pop, Myth, Icon and Critic.
After these initial steps the class detoured to create plans for outdoor
sculpture and installations, which would create their own stories.
After the garden projects were finished Mr. Roserro came back to the
last step of the lesson to aid the students in applying criticism to
their own work. He adapted the form from the elementary lesson for
each student to write a response and to voice their opinions
