Pop Art Reflection Questions

Andy Warhol was an American artist as well someone who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. Warhol’s work was a relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. I would not buy Andy Warhol’s artwork to be honest because it just not my type of art. But don’t get me wrong, his work it’s really interesting and who doesn’t like pop art. His artwork reminds me a lot of Marilyn Monroe, since he got well known for that painting he did of her after she die. The association was type pleasant because Marilyn is a beautiful famous woman and the painting he did of her is one of my favorites that a like and it just captured this picture of her that’s makes it so fun and interesting.

Critics today have broken down high and low culture and an interest in popular culture,

which encompasses such diverse media as comic books, television, and the Internet. Now a Informed opinion is supported by facts while uninformed opinion is not this is how to tell the difference between them. As well as Taste, is a personal preference or liking and Bias, is a preference or an inclination, especially one that inhibits impartial judgment. The formal aspects Andy Warhol used on his portraits were more like shape and color. But in a different ways unlike others artist would use it. Because he would capture someone and make it appear in different colors multiply times. And as well he would not make only portraits from photographs; he would also shot himself and use photographs from the media of other people. Portraits are important to us because it captured memories, someone that you love and would not look the same in 2 or 5 years, and it just expresses a lot of creativity. Artists have painted portraits throughout the ages to represent a person, in which the face is the main theme.

How I felt when making a Warhol portrait about myself was really cool, and fun because

I liked how I would turn out looking at the end of project. But at the same time hard and

stressful when doing the work. How I made my portrait was by using photo booth to take

my picture of myself and then opening it in Adobe Photoshop 6CS. Using the Quick

Selection Tool to select only myself and not the background. Then the Move tool to move the picture around after duplicating it 3 times and then using the Bucket tool to apply different color on picture of me to combine with the different colors that I apply in the background. In the future I can see myself using a lot to the Quick Selection tool now that I can manage it pretty well. This is My Warhol Portrait Project.
