The item I chose to represent was my laptop. This is probably because I spend a lot of time on my computer and lot of my hobbies utilize a computer. I’m a Computer Science major so a lot of the work I do is on the computer, and for probably for a big chunk of my future I’ll be using a computer.
Andy Warhol’s is associated with pop art. He is well known for his screen-printed images of objects and celebrities. I think the main ideas behind his work, was that different levels of social classes used the same thing. And that art can be easily produced and made by people and different groups. I think there is some merit to his ideas since he experienced both poverty and wealth in his life. So he knows what it is like living in different social classes.
I feel like almost everyone would connect pop culture to a computer. Since a computer is a gate way to a bunch of different types of media. I think people would connect with a computer, since most people use it. A lot of people find different ideas and trends of pop culture through a computer.
I think we are following Andy Warhol’s tradition when we are making similar art as his in Photoshop. Even though we are not using the same type of tools and ink like he did, we are using technology and the machine we have in art making. Without having the same tools, we can still achieve the same art effect that Andy Warhol has made. This gives a large amount of people access to make art like he did.
