1. Myths: Mickey Mouse By Andy Warhol
Abigail Harris

2. Description
The title of the artwork informs you what your looking at and who the painting is of. This helps you learn what you’re looking at. This painting uses different line qualities on the outline of the body show the form. The other lines used help creates the look of the original sketch of the character. There is a brightly colored background in the back that gives the painting a “wow factor”. I see circles that make up his ears and face. The techniques used in this artwork are silk screens. In Warhol’s opinion they worked better because they lasted longer. Warhol also used synthetic polymer paint because it showed up better on the silk.

3. Analysis
The focal point of the art work that I see first is the vibrant white head of the character. The elements in this painting doesn’t create a pattern. My eyes follow the lines that make up the sketch marks of the character. The proportions are normal for the character shown. There is a special balance between the background in the character. The character contrast with the background used in the painting.

4. Interpretation
There is no symbolism used in the picture. The picture represents the original illustration of a cartoon character. The artist wanted to give the viewer happiness. The work reminds me of joy I have experienced throughout my life. The work relates to Walt Disney who became famous because of this character. Walt Disney is claimed to be “the creator” of the character mickey mouse.

5. Judgement
I feel like the painting was a success because its was created to make kids happy. It reminds you of the original sketch of mickey mouse. The criteria of this painting are very vivid. I think the character in this painting has a good contrast with the background. I think this painting is unique because of the way its formatted with the character. Its also unique because of how the character is positioned other artist would have the character up right. Warhol did this because its makes the character look happier.
