Andy Warhol American 1928-1987

Overview Today we will be learning about an artist named Andy Warhol. He was a pioneer in Pop Art. Pop Art is defined as popular culture. By using contrasting colors, you can make any picture’s details pop or become more pronounced. Andy Warhol was an illustrator, painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. But he was most known for his print making. His talents gave him the opportunity to work with many famous people and character.

Early Life Warhol’s art studies began at the age of six when he contracted chorea, a rare disease of the nervous system. His mother and brothers kept him occupied by teaching him drawing, tracing and printing. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Pictorial Design in 1949
