About Andy Warhol (1928-1987)

Andy Warhol was an American artist, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. Born in 1928, he was a leading figure in the Pop Art movement of the mid-20th century. Warhol is best known for his colorful, bold, and often controversial works that blended art and popular culture. He was particularly famous for his series of Campbell's Soup Cans, Coca-Cola bottles, and Marilyn Monroe portraits, which explored the themes of consumerism, celebrity, and mass production. Warhol was also an innovative and influential figure in the art world, and he is credited with pioneering new techniques and mediums, such as screen printing, that have since become central to modern art. Today, Warhol's works are widely celebrated for their cultural significance, and he remains one of the most famous and influential artists of all time.

Real Reviews from Real Teachers & Parents

See Why Everyone Loves Meet The Masters

I have been involved with and using the Meet the Masters Art Curriculum for about 20 years. I started out as a parent volunteer at my son’s former elementary school in Orange County, and then went on to facilitate and coordinate a Meet the Masters Art program at Maranatha Christian Academy in Santa Ana. This just goes to show how successful and user friendly this art program really is!

The biggest blessing for me, is being involved with such an amazing and diverse curriculum that draws kids in to the world of art, the lives of the artist, as well as the history behind the great masters. I know that their love of learning about art is translated into the many art projects that Meet the Masters offers. The MTM staff are here to assist you in designing your schools individual programs and offer you the support to make sure that you and your program will succeed.
