In keeping

with the spirit of Warhol's art, students were instructed that they could

not add anything to a face that wasn't already there. However, students

were able to use their creativity in selecting color groups and choosing

how the colors would be applied to the face.

While Warhol's

work might have been new to some students at the school, many say they

had a lot of fun working with the faces of people they see and interact

with everyday.

"When

we first started studying Andy Warhol I thought he was kind of a kook

but doing the faces was fun. I really enjoyed the project," said

eighth grader Kelly McCollum.

Three displays

hang in the school featuring the same faces in warm, cool and complimentary

colors. Since the student body and faculty are enjoying them so much,

Killingsworth said she plans to leave the displays on the wall until they

start to fall down.

"We have

had teachers ask if they can have their picture when we take them down.

They all have been good sports about all of this. One teacher even said

she wants to take her picture to her hairdresser," Killingsworth

added.

When the displays

are removed, students will have the opportunity to donate their creative

imagery to the teacher or staff member who was the subject of their work.

Killingsworth's

next pop art lesson is going to be on Keith Haring, one of the great graffiti

artists of the 1980s.
