DAY 1

Today, we will be able to talk about the artwork of Andy Warhol and how his work was a reflection of the times and culture and compare it to what we see in media today.

We will then begin the planning of our own portraits by having our photos taken and brainstorming words that can be included in our portraits to express: goals/aspirations/the essence of who we are.

ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warhol was part of the Pop Art movement.

He was famous for exploring popular culture in his work, using images of brands like Coca Cola, Listerine and Campbell’s Soup

MARILYN, SILKSCREEN ON PAPER, 1967

He liked to use bright colors and silk screening techniques to mass-produce artworks based on publicity photographs of stars, like this famous image of Marilyn Monroe

MARILYN DIPTYCH, 1962

Silk-screening is a process which can create lots of artworks/prints that look the same.

The design is separated out into individual colors, and the position of each color is marked out by a stencil. By pushing ink through the stencils one at a time, the colors build up to form a picture

CAMPBELL'S SOUP CANS, 1962

COLLAGE IS….

A collage is a picture that is created by gluing items to a surface.

The items are usually flat but collage can be made from raised items like dried pasta and seeds. The resulting image will still be relatively flat.
