Andy Warhol's Marilyn Prints In the 1960s, Andy Warhol created several “mass-produced” images from photographs of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie Onassis. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades. The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Unlike the Fauve colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. Warhol discusses his choice of color in this 1981 recording. On the occasion of Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in August 1962, Warhol used this image for his screenprinting. Warhol was fascinated with morbid concepts. In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints.
Learning Through Art Learning Through Art (LTA), an artist residency program, cultivates student creativity by designing sustained, process-oriented art projects that support learning across the curriculum. The program sends experienced teaching artists into New York City public schools, where they collaborate with classroom teachers to develop and facilitate art projects integrated into the school curriculum. Read more about LTA's history and structure. This area of the website provides in-depth information about current LTA residencies as well as useful resources for educators, including questions to facilitate discussion of works of art and detailed lesson plans for exploring art projects and techniques in the classroom.
