The winning modern art movement from last week´s assignment was POP ART (congrats Marlene and María, great job!), so this week´s assignment will be based on the work of it´s most notorious figure, Andy Warhol.
This will be a three part assignment which we will complete between this week and the next. The first part is written; Today I will hand you will a magazine article about Andy Warhol. After reading, I want you to extract 10 sentences with the information you personally found the most interesting, as well as answer the 3 questions that are on the magazine.
Also, check out the websites mentioned in the magazine to look at his work. Choose 3 different pieces and tell me why you like them or not (proper lexicon, please. Mention elements and principles of art). Email me your sentences, images and answers.
While you are reading, I will go around taking your picture. By the time you are finished, I will give you your digital picture and you will begin the second part of your assignment, which is to digitally manipulate it in photoshop to create a silkscreen print effect. Follow this tutorial. You´ll love it, it´s super cool :-). Email me your pimped up photo in jpg format.
Next week is the final assignment. You have to print ONE SQUARE (not all four, just ONE) of the photo in 8.5" x 11", prefferably in color but black and white is acceptable, and bring it in to class. We will create a lithograph using these, but this I will explain next week. If you do not bring the printed picture you cannot work, so DO NOT FORGET.
Good luck, and get to work!
