Create an original pop-art repetitive portrait based on a study the life and work of Andy Warhol.
1.
Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 8, 1930. His parents were Czech immigrants, and his last name was originally Warhola. After his education at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Warhol moved to New York, where he worked for <i>Vogue</i> and <i>Harper's Bazaar</i>, and designed window displays.
2.
By the 1960s Warhol's art was quite different than that of most other artists. He used everyday objects and images of famous people as the subjects for his work, often repeating them many times on one painting or print. His interest in things that were contemporary and popular defined his work as Pop Art.
3.
To create in the manner of Andy Warhol, first examine his portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Onassis, and Mick Jagger. Notice that he includes many portraits of the same person in one painting, changing colors and details.
