Summary:
This web page is the result of a yearlong education program beginning in 2005 with discussions amongst the Warhol Museum, Alcoa Foundation, Alcoa Russia and local education representatives in both Samara and Belaya Kalitva. An outline of an education program was developed that focused on using the Museums new online curriculum http://edu.warhol.org as a resource and working with a small number of local schools and teachers to enable deep engagement, as well as on providing these schools with needed technology resources. Subsequently, Warhol Museum staff traveled to Samara and Belaya Kalitva to conduct teacher workshops demonstrating the online curriculum and various technologies and artistic practices. They also visited the schools involved and held student master classes for select students. Teachers and a group of students from each of the thirteen participating schools worked together to create projects inspired by Warhol’s art, life and practice. Each school received the gift of a computer, Internet access and other equipment.

Anastasia Zhilina created her piece Diary exploring her own emotions through photographic images and texts from report cards and class schedules. |
Adaptations:
The main goal of our projects was to show real emotions and feelings of people. Due to different reasons people often put on their own masks, in which they feel more comfortable, and they are not used to show their true feelings. Photographing people unexpectedly, we intended to see whats happening in people’s hearts in a proper moment.
