Andy Warhol
I want to learn more about an artist I quite don't know about or heard about so I choose Andy Warhol. Warhol was an american artist born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. As looking through his work, I notice that he did a lot of colorful portraits such as pop artists; Pink and Michael Jackson. Its very interesting that not only Andy Warhol was an artist but also a commercial illustrator and a filmmaker. He did different types of paintings such as painting cartoons, celebrites and even Campbell's Soup. Warhol drew what amazed him and interested him. To me his paintings were not the same as others, he used different types of techniques such as "blotted ink" drawings. One thing I like about this butterfly are the vibrant colors he used. It makes the pictures realistic; a butterfly at night.

This was a good intro to Warhol's career, but I especially liked that you noticed his vibrant colors. How did they help make the images look more real? This is were you can dig deeper and get more specific about. For ex. were the colors influenced by his early career advertising?
