This is a picture of a crystal from one of my organic chemistry lab. The shape and the color of the crystal are really different from other white crystals so I took a picture of it. I was in chemistry major and I really love chemistry because it’s a really colorful and interesting subject, so I chose this picture to represent myself.
Andy Warhol uses pop culture in his artwork and he uses daily commodities to show that art can relates to daily life as well instead of far away from what normal people can understand. He uses cans to represent daily life and by drawing same products with different color combinations, he makes people feel really impressive when seeing the paintings.
This item can relate to pop culture as nowadays more and more people are interested in all kinds of beautiful crystals formed with chemicals. Some people like to put a storm glass which forms different amount crystal in different whether on their table. Using machines in artmaking is a fast way to produce artworks, for this assignment, I used Apple computer and Adobe Photoshop to add a filter and change the background colors. With Photoshop and many other tools, I don’t need to draw every shape and find every color by blending colors.
