Andy Warhol was a famous American artist who invented Pop Art. He had an interesting life and career, moving from Pittsburgh to New York City to study art. Warhol became famous for his Pop Art paintings of everyday objects and famous people. Pop Art involves editing and changing images in creative ways. The student learned about Warhol and did a Pop Art assignment in class similar to Warhol's work. Warhol died in 1987 after gallbladder surgery, leaving a lasting influence as a pioneer of Pop Art.

Andy Warhol is a very famous artist in the art world. In class this
year in Mrs. Ewy's we have used some similar types of art as Andy Warhol. The
research Ive done on Andy Warhol shows he has had an interesting life. Andy Warhol
is dead now though. The project in art Mrs. Ewy had us do was very fun it was called
Pop Art. Well Guess what? In my research ive done it shows that Pop Art was invented
by Andy Warhol! Firstly He had an interesting life, Secondly Ive used his type of art,
Pop Art and lastly Andy Warhol's death.
"Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." is a phrase coined by
Andy Warhol. According to my research, Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh on
August 6, 1928 and was attached to his mother through out childhood due to moving
into a foreign country. He studied commercial art at School of Fine Art somewhere in
Pennsylvania. Then in 1949 he moved to New York City and began illustration and
advertising. His parents were immigrants from a foreign country and it probably made
life tough for Andy even if he was a U.S. Citizen. Being from another country and
trying to fit in with American kids would probably be extremely difficult. Andy Warhol
apparently did many paintings of famous people at the time including Marilyn Monroe,
Elvis Presley, and Muhammad Ali. I would love to that stuff for famous people. But
when his real fame begins is when Andy Warhol first started introducing his famous
artwork Pop Art.
Pop Art is basically using a picture of something and changing and
editing it. The kind of Pop Art I did in 7th hour of Mrs. Ewy's class in the computer
Mac Lab was a picture of myself and I took into Photoshop and changed the colors of
my hair, my eyes, my nose, my ears, my neck, my shirt, and my pants. Then I changed
it three other times and put it into squares lined up next to eachother, making two rows
of two Pop Art's. My Pop Art turned out really well it looks very colorful and bright
and could be famous just like Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Can." or "Marilyn
Monroe" or "Triple Elvis." I'm guessing that Andy Warhol probably learned his editing
and photography from his School of Fine Art. He also attended Carnegie Institute of

2. Technology. Also according to research he majored in pictorial design. So the idea
inventing of Pop Art must have came from one of the two schools. When Im older I will
probably create a new kind of inventing, just like Andy Warhol created a new kind of
art.
Andy Warhol did a good thing for this world but died February 22,
1987. According to Wikipedia he died right after a gallbladder surgery in some New
York Hospital. It doesnt say if he died from the surgery or old age but it might have
something to do with the surgeon, because I read that Andy Warhol was shot in the late
1970's and I think that maybe the surgeon was paid to kill Andy Warhol. I have seen
pictures of statues and monuments of Warhol in many other countries, so Andy Warhol
must be famous in other countries for his invented, awesome artwork Pop Art.
Through doing this project I have learned that Andy Warhol lived
till fifty-nine. Brought the famous art style Pop Art into existence. Also he did paintings
of several famous people for them. Then he was shot in the late 70's but lived. Then
finally died after a gallbladder surgery in a New York Hospital. But till this day using
Pop Art is still totally cool. Andy Warhol did many cool things and most and definitely
will be missed.
