Andy Warhol

Hello everyone,

During the last lessons, we started preparing a new subject for "histoire des arts".

First, we played a game about Andy Warhol's life : play it again here :

We wrote a lesson about him :

ANDY WARHOL'S LIFE



1) Andy's childhood :
He was born in the USA but his family came from Slovakia. When he was a child, he wanted to become a tap dancer but he studied art and painting.
2) His commercial carrer as an artist.
Warhol created blotted-ink drawings with ink, paper and paintbrushes.
3) The Factory : Warhol created pop art (=pop stars/pop music). Pop means "popular".
He painted ordinary objects from supermarkets as for example bottles of Coca Cola. He made 650 films.
He painted portraits of stars as Marilyn Monroe.
He appeared in a famous TV show : Love Boat.

During the next lesson, you had to listen to information on the MP3 players and to fill in a document (capsule 1, 2, 3, 4).

To finish you had to exchange information with your partners.

We corrected that on the board.

We continued working on Warhol's life with a document in which you had to write verbs in the preterit.

HOMEWORK for Friday 11th : finish completing the document with verbs in the preterit.
