Andy Warhol

We have been learning about Andy Warhol's work. Andy Warhol was born on August 6th 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He creates a type of art called: POP ART! I think his work is vibrant and interesting. He started off painting basic everyday objects for example his world famous painting of a Campbell's soup can.
Later on in his career he went on to paint celebrities including Marilyn Monroe:

Debbie Harry:

John Lennon:

And quite a few others. In Art we have been trying to create our own pieces in the style of Andy Warhol. I think that it is a very interesting process. The problem is I find photoshop quite difficult to use so therefore it was more difficult for me to create mine as I feel I need constant guidance. I also think that if Andy Warhol started making these pictures now it wouldn't be as popular because with technology nowadays it is so simple to set your camera to a setting and take pictures that way. I think I need to learn how to use photoshop and then maybe I will be able to explain the process in a later post.
