Andy Warhol Portrait essay

Andy Warhol is an American artist known for his artwork knows as "pop art”. I would buy his artwork because is known that he creates his art inspired by people and the results are successful. When looking at his art it remains me of the early times and makes me think of the age they were living at. Also based on the concentration and how he tried to make every single piece of art perfect, I can tell that somehow he was living on a peaceful age. The association is pleasant and important. Critics in popular culture about his paintings might be all about how he uses repetition on several cases. But in popular culture would affect the most because by that time there were more people that liked his art than those who didn't, so either way everyone had different opinions about it. An informed opinion is that one you give having knowledge on the topic and an uninformed opinion is just giving it without knowing what you are talking about. Taste is a personal preference and bias is an impartial judgment. Warhol’s portraits formal aspects were identical by the way he always tried to create his art according to the situation.

Portraits are important to us in different ways including the fact that there are many people that like to keep portraits of them on different periods of time sometimes just to create a timeline and show future generations how they have change through out the time or they just use it for decorations. Also portraits are useful when identifying you on documents such as passports or id's. Artists have painted portraits throughout the ages because there was a period of time on the ancient time when painting became a famous thing and it was well known everywhere, so everyone just started doing it. I feel good doing a portrait myself because that way I can follow Warhol's thinking and understand how he somehow used his imagination and just expressed it. But either way knowing that something good came out of it because I tried my best out of it. First of all I took a picture of myself and using Photoshop I then erase the background so just the wanting area will appear on the artwork. Then I plug it on the working space and using the ruler I kept it at a certain size. Then I click filter, artistic and cutout. Then I created a group out of the layer and duplicate it 3 more times because I wanted four pictures. After that I used the rectangular tool and clicked on layer, solid color, named the layer and chose a background color. I used the rectangular marquee tool, the magnetic lasso tool, the move tool, and other things like cutout, ruler, solid colors and some adjustments. I see myself using these skills in my future by doing some propaganda depending on the career I chose or helping others with my knowledge.
