@ THE FACTORY

On the bottom level of The Warhol was a super awesome and fun art room titled The Factory.

This floor was below so I assumed I could take a few pictures of the fun displays on the wall.

The Factory has 5 stations set up to utilize.

The first being screen printing.  The workers were so kind and patient with everyone's demands.  One could get as many free prints on paper they provided or pick from various items they had for a price such as journals, tote bags, bandannas, and shirts.  I opted to make a shirt for $12.  So fun.

I picked the "nose picker" in orange.

And "warhol" in bright pink.

And of course I took advantage of the free prints on paper for my scrapbooking needs.

I plan to frame the pie print and place it on my Frames wallpaper at home.

 

The second station I partook in was the Acetate Collage.

The Factory had several images printed on acetate (clear transparency paper) including a cow, penguin, Dianna Ross, rhino, and frog.  I finished one cow and took the rest home to finish at another time.  Who can turn away free art project....I can't.

 Up next was a water color station:

I didn't have time to finish this project, but since I have supplies at home, I grabbed the butterfly print to finish later that week.

 

Finished butterflies:

At the same table, there was the Blotted Line Drawings which took a technique Warhol used to make various shoe designs.  Again due to time, I grabbed a boot and sneaker design to complete later.  You need ink to complete this which I do at home as well.

 

And last station was the Collage POP.

A drawing of a scarab was on paper which you were to randomly cover with various paper and supplies.  Ideally covering the lines already on the paper.

Once completed, you head to the screen printer station and they use the silk screen to print over the collage making an amazing art piece. This piece will also get framed for my home.

 

And not to forget "the warhol: Coloring Book" on the way out of The Factory.

 

So I would say the $20 fee you pay to get into the museum was well worth the experience and the amount of artwork completed in The Factory.  Who needs to get anyting from the souvenir store after that...I didn't.

 

P.S.  I created a SMASH album for this trip which includes my Instax pictures and my finished art projects. I will post it in the near future.  Stay tuned.
