Andy Warhol and Marketing

By Andy Warhol marketing art work, it made it easy for middle-class and normal people to own art work by a famous artist, which before was not possible because art work of that status could only be accessible by the rich and famous.But by him doing that he turned one of a kind art works that people could appriciate in a museum into some ones private collection.

Mid-term Artist statement

From the first time i saw the movie on Andy Warhol and his art work i knew that i was going to do my remix on him. I did my remix on his art work because it was inspiring to see an artist that influenced the pop culture use objects that we are familiar with like celebrities, money, campbell soup cans and anything that inspired or fasinated him in his art work. I liked the campbell soup cans because it looked like an advert, which actually expressed his early career in magazine illustration and advertising. I used that as my cover to my altered book, with a small image of a silkscreen print of Elvis in the center and a quote that i got from the article "The silksscreens were actually a mistake". On the back i added a Japenese symbol at the bottom of the book. Inside i used screen prints of money, of a gun, of celebrities like Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie.O, i also used some things that inspire me like my screen print of a basketball. I cut most of them and reorganized them to express my destructive side( also the book had a chapter dealing with cutting).For example the screen print of Jackie.O i cut looks like 2 kisses upside down. His art work inspired me to make an another remix.I took an old Record album and got images of albums he designed like the velvet underground( a group he sponsered), 2 covers for the Rolling Stones and a cover for John Lennon. Inside the album there was a pop up were i put images of screen prints of celebrities that i used with the book with some images of the albums he worked on. The quotes i used are "Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" and "Land really is the best art". On the recored i placed a CD with his name and dollar signs around it, in the center of the recored( a kind of old meets new). I burnt some sonds from the album covers he worked on. I used this remix to express music as art.

Activity #4 Principles of Design

In the first painting by Picasso the gray scale is used to provide an intresting contrast of white and black. Since both of them are values of the gray scale they belong together to make that contrast. The art work gives a sense of unity and variety to the viewer.Unity is a sense of oneness, of things belonging together and making up a coherent whole while Variety is diffrence, which provides intrest. There is more weight(visual weight) towards the right side of the art work, due to the position of the horse's mouth leaning towards the right and his neck on the left side also providing an asymmetrical balance to the art work.Visual weight refers to the appearent heaviness or lightness of the forms arranged in a composition as gauged by how insistently they draw our eyes. The scale and proportion of the horse's head provide an emphasis on his mouth. The scale of his head is a large than a normal horse's own. The size of the horse's teeth, nose and tongue are in correct proportion to his mouth . Scale means size in relation to standard or "normal" size while proportion refers to size relationships between parts of a hole , or between two or more items perceived as a unit. Emhasis means that our attention is drawn more to certain points of a composition than to others.

comments on Andy Warhol

I liked his art work it was very cool how he made the sreen prints of things that he liked, like money, famous people and everyday objects. I'v seen the screen print of Marilyn Monroe before. What even makes his work more intresting to me is that he didn't have a computer to use.
