Discovering Pop Art and Andy Warhol SEM. 2 BLOG #5: Response to Video, The Life of Andy WarholDue by Friday, 3/24
Write a blog entry #4 and respond to the following questions. If you need any additional information or images, go to these 2 websites on Andy Warhol.
1. Why was Andy Warhol's work categorized as "Pop Art"? Give at least 2 examples of his work that help to support your reasons. Include images that you reference with your response.
2. What piece of Warhol's do you find most interesting both visually and conceptually (the idea)? Why? Include image with your response.
3. Do you feel that using photographs or images that are not created by the artist, himself/herself, is cheating? For example, Warhol used many commercial images, designs, and photographs that he did not create himself such as the Campbell soup labels and celebrity photographs like Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy. Why or why don't you feel that an artist should use found images and declare them his/her own artwork?
