POP ART PORTRAITS
Inspired by the artist Andy Warhol
© Amy Migliore 2008
This Power Point Presentation is an introductory piece to our digital portrait unit.
Questions and vocabulary are incorporated to help students review the principles of design and analyze the work of a master artist.
It showcases the famous artist, Andy Warhol, to foster inspiration and give a historical reference to my students’ projects. PBS documentary film and info about Warhol-- http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/andy-warhol/a-documentary-film/44/ Artcyclopedia http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/pop.html
I specifically focus on Andy Warhol’s grids of famous people because they are all so full of color and contrast yet are visually unified.
