Andy Warhol’s Soup: More Than Meets the Eye
During the 1960s there were new ideas and change is society.A change in art was pop art. He made people think about art in a new way Andy Warhol, great individual in art history, was the man who came up with the idea of Pop Art. Some people wanted paintings of what they saw in their everyday life. That is what Andy Warhol painted, things he saw in every day life. For example, he painted soup cans because they were what he had for lunch. There were critics who did not like the idea of painting things that were considered unimportant. People asked him “is this considered art?” He threw the question back in their face by saying “Why isn’t it art?” Warhol had an unusual personality and his look stood out, and he that became known to people around the world. He was know for taking portraits of famous people, like Marilyn Monroe, and changed the color of it and did it over so that you notice parts of that painting. He liked to have repetition in his art. He took modern art to the next level by painting the things people would never think of as art; and by turning the question” is that painting art” around. . He influenced new modern art such as Rene Margritte or people who paint things that do not make sense or are not real. Because of Warhol, the definition of art is expanded.

This book gives the basic facts a person needs to know to do a project about Andy Warhol. In this case N.H.D. It gives good quotes, which are useful on the exhibit board or for a play. The book also gives unknown facts; that people would be interested in knowing. For example, Andy Warhol was so mysterious that no one really knows his birthday. Another fact is his parents were immigrants from Czechoslovakia. This book talks a little bit about his child hood. Then it goes in to his young adult life and how he worked for fashion magazines. It goes in to more detail about his artwork and his later work.

This site shows Andy’s self-portrait. His hair is everywhere His hair looks like colored feathers he looks serious. There is a stripe of blue and yellow paint on his eyes. There is a zigzag stripe of blue and green on his mouth, his upper forehead and hair is dark blue the rest of his face is turquoise. I can use this on the exhibit board to show he thought untraditionally and what pop art looks like. On the home page is an image of a boy on a bus pressing his hand to the window at girl looks at him affectionately. There are images of coming up exhibits.

The site has a picture of a Campbell’s soup can with the label pealing off. Then there’s another picture of just part of the label. The last image is of a regular soup can with the lid coming off. This site gives a lot of biographical information. This is good for a side note/
Side bar of the exhibit board. The site talks about the shows he had for his art the site talks about how he was shot but he did not die for the bullet. He still painted afterward. That show s something a person in this case Andy Warhol did in history plus “invent pop art” this site pretty much mentioned most of his life (except his young childhood) and gave the years of the events too.

This site gave many unknown facts. Facts that weren’t in the books I had looked at or the other website. It went in to great detail about his childhood and his sexuality, religion, death films, music and his dramatic works of art. It talks about an illness he had. An individual that got over an illness should be known in most cases. Especially if the illness was serious. (He was shot and survived that is serious and worth being known. This site gave a wide range of facts about Andy Warhol. It talked about his young childhood; it gave the years such as his early career, the 1960s, when he was shot, the 1970 his religious beliefs, how and when he died, it went on to talk about his paintings, films, music, media and books.

This site had a couple facts. This website compared the way Monet painted with the way Warhol painted. For example, Monet used shadows; because they were there in the scene and to show how light changed over time Warhol didn’t use shadows at all Warhol’s paintings show sameness. (Except for the label on the soup cans.) This site also had images of Andy Warhol’s paintings I would use them on the exhibit board. Compare his work to Monet’s work. The site talked about 1961-1962 the years he did the soup cans. For the most part the site is repitive. It did have a list of paintings he did at the bottom of the page. This site had the cow wallpaper I am going to use that on the background of the exhibit board.

On the side of the page there is a time line from1000 B.C. to 2000 A.D there is an asterisks around the 2000 to represent the 1960’s, which is when Andy Warhol painted his artwork. On the second page there is a painting of one of his Campbell’s soup cans the lid is open and the number19c the flavor is Beef Noodle. The first sentence in the book said that Andy Warhol considered a soup can an all American still life. This book focused on the soup phase of Andy’s life that’s what it mainly talked about. The books said people thought his art looked like billboard ads. Andy turned the view of art around. It was useful that it talked about the soup cans in great detail and how he turned art around. That is important to my N.H.D project.

the art of andy Warhol and my choosing
Here is why i chose andy warhol. originally i wanted to do my project on Erin Gruel. she was the teacher to the kids who wrote the freedom writers, but the issue was she is too modern. Our teacher gave us a paper on N.H.D's topic for this year. It mentioned an artist; this made me think of doing an artist for my project.I wanted to do an artist but not the one mentioned in the paper.I decided to do Andy Warhol. The reason I chose andy Warhol are;I like his art, there are debates about whether his paintings are art.(I thought that would make a good point in my presentation). The judges would hopefully be interested in the debate of "are his paintings art. Secondly, I thought they would like that this person is not typical for N.H,D. The competitors usually do people such as, Theodore Roosevelt,Martin Luther king jr. Amelia Airheart. one of the presidents. The third 3rd reason I chose him is he started pop art.i think when your t he person who started something you are important and trying to make a clear statement. That is why i chose andy warhol.

Do your part (part two)
Do your part
Every one should do their part to help out. At constitution high kids are being graded on their community service. Every kid had to fifteen hours of individual service and a group project such as Franks for Frankie.
For my 15 hours I did more than one service. My first service is I watch my cousin every Sunday for 3 hours. He is autistic which can make it tricky. This is a service to my family.
When he first arrives he smacks his lips and says mm. I say, “Your hungry “and he says “yeah” he walks over to the fridge and gets out the bread then he goes to the pantry and gets out the peanut butter. He doe s this every time it is part of his routine. He always has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (He eats even if he has just had a large breakfast.) He then usually unloads the toy box we have in the living room over and over again. He touches and feels the toys pressing the buttons that make sounds. Occasionally He will watch either The Red Balloon or home videos of my sister’s birthday. He gets excited when the candles are blown out he blows out the candles as well.
In the fall he likes to walk around the block. In the spring he plays on our hammock. In the summer he plays with the hose. I’ve had my hard times when he has a major meltdown about something he doesn’t quite understand or he can’t communicate what’s bothering him. In the end it’s fixed I love him no matter what.

service learning ideas
Constitution high school is starting service learning projects. It is a big project all the students must brainstorm five to six ideas of what we want to do for the school project. The requirements are to do a school project and 15 hours of service. For my school project i'm thinking of making nice for recycling bins that i will put around the school. In the bins I would recycle paper and plastic items. There would be two be separate bins for the paper items and the plastic.The paper items would recycle are: paper,toilet paper rolls, card board containers etc.
Plastic is elf explanatory any plastic items would go in the bins.I would check about plastic wrappers. Another school idea is I could help tutor.I could pick up trash around the school.I could assist any teachers in doing errands.
I already do service project such as help my uncle every sunday I babysit his son for four hours who is autistic,For my fifteen hours of service I sometimes work for my uncle in his office that would be an option. Another option is to babysit every sunday and count that as fifteen hours after a certain amount of Sundays. plus I could babysit other kids.I could do work for my mom and her job.
one project would be to do service hours at Ronald mcDonald house.This summer I baked for Ronald McDoanld house since their oven broke .One night i made puppets there. I know that Ronald Mcdonald house is a place where families can stay when they have a kids that is sick or having surgery.I could do research on who started Ronald Mconald house or what kind of surgery they treat.
My other idea is similar i could do service hours at C.H.O.P. I could call and see if my audiologist needs help in her department.Or if she has any suggestions on project I can do.I have a lot I do there. So they probably would let me help. There is so much I can research about C.H.O.P and hospitals specifically.
The last idea is pick up trash around my neighborhood or the school neighborhood.I could research what trash is the most harmful to the enviorment
I would like to work on a recycling project for the school and places in my neighborhood if that would be an okay project. I could make it bigger and research recycling materials. Plus my family just started to recycling things like paper and paper towels, box containers,food containers and many reusable items.It makes me feel good to see how much were recycling(high five to the great start on my family project.)
I Thought for the fifteen hours of service I could work/help out at Ronald Mcdonald house. This summer I baked food like coffee cake etc for them since they were redoing their kitchen. I also made puppets one night as a fun activity. For the research part I could research when Ronald Mcdonald started and who started it as well as some of the things they help kids with.I know that Ronald Mcdonald is a place where kids and their families can stay while a kid is seriously sick or having surgery. A suggestion they have is take the kids on an outing like to the zoo.Or just play with them and have fun. Just make sure they have fun.So maybe i'll take one or two kids to the zoo or a movie.
Another idea I have is very similar. I would put in my hours at CHOP since I go there a lot for hearing and growth hormone tests as well as other tests. I think they might be glad to have me help. I could help in the audiology department.
p.s you can let me know if these are good ideas. These are just my first ideas. i'll try to come up with more ideas. sorry this letter is so long and that i added the icons.
We also have to do a school wide project, and I am going to be helping out with a group of kids from Constitution High School they are calling the group Franks for Frankie. The kids i'm working with are going to sell hot dog. there will also be activities for kids. We are going to raise money.We are going to have a teacher to supervise the groups and we get to choose who the teacher it is similar to what the school did for national history Day.Hopefully we can work this all out this kind of project is easier said than done. But with group effort i bet we can get it done.

N.H.D Reflection
NHD was a handful, but I learned a lot from this whole expierence that much I can say. There was a lot of work to do during the whole process. It started with choosing what I was going to do for my topic.I started out with the topics of fire fighters, women suffrage,getting rid of mayor Rizzo,and the underground Railroad.The next day My teacher gave me a book called The Under Ground Railroad by william still. That was how My project was on William Still and his life and what he did with he Underground Railroad.
personally I didn't like that we had to be so specific and picky with the annotations. I found just doing the annotations was long and tedious I had to go to the websites and books multiple time to find all the parts of the annotations.A lot of site didn't have an author. Or the sites were missing part of what I needed. Next year I'm going to get all of the site every single part ahead of time.
we had workshops for two hours the week or two before the event. I thought the workshops should be changed for next year A lot of people said the workshops were chaotic. I didn't like the workshops; since all I did was read my play for two hours which was helpful with helping me memorize my lines and stage directions but that's it.(Even though I didn't think they were helpful.)I guess that's an oximoron.I really don't know what to think of the workshops.It was helpful that one of the plays gave me some feedback.Though it was the day before N.H.D. I think the group s should have given more feedback to the plays.
I did my project on William Still who wrote a book on the Underground Railroad. My project was a play it was a solo play.It was a really fun project. I think the judges liked it.( It was hard to tell. what they thought) my play was fun I was William still as my character. in the play I told stories about important characters that were in William still's book. for example marie weems who disguised her self up as a man to escape,or William still's brother peter. His mom ran away when peter was a grownup he went to philadelphia to find his mom and found his brother. The judges asked me about how I thought of the topic I did my project on,how my play related to the theme of conflict and compromise.( An obvious question)
I may have hated N.H.D at times, but In the end I found the project worthwhile. I'l have the knowledge to do an even better project next year. next uyear I will come prepared for N.H,D knowing what is ahead of me. My family was so proud of me when they found out i'm going to cities which is the next level in the contest. what made it even cooler was I got the news on my dad's birthday. (My grandmom even wanted me to brag to everyone)
