In the late 1950s, he started getting interested in paintings and then in 1961 he started doing more pop art. From this it created a major stir in the art world, bringing both Warhol and pop art into the national spotlight for the first time, Andy warhol pop art was on many small objects first and gradually went completely bigger, at first he started with doing logos on coca cola and tin cans and vacuums etc. But then began bigger with painting celebrities portraits, his most famous works are done with celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Mick Jagger and Mao Zedong. But then he was well known for what he did, he did a pop art portrait of Elvis Presley and it was called “Eight Elvises” and then it was resold for $100 million which makes it the most valuable picture in history.

Andy warhol graduated from college in 1949 leaving with a bachelor fine art degree. He went to new york city in 1950 and started to pursue a career as a commercial artist. He became famous after getting a job in glamour magazine and then just became the most successful commercial artist. He won consistent rewards for his uniquely whimsical style on his drawings.

Anna Atkins was one of the first female photographer, She had an interest in cyanotype process, which is when an object is put on paper and then treated with ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide which is then exposed to sunlight and then the picture is put in water and then it should start to reveal dark blue areas. Anna Atkins chose to do this for her work and She is one of the first to do so. This is one of her work and is dated round 1843.

Hannah Hoch. She took inspiration from Pablo Picasso and the style of work is very unique as she just changes the features of some of the faces that she does with other objects, like for this picture she used (from what it looks like) part of the stone statues mouth snd right eye (or left). she’s a very well known artist and has definitely left a mark through history.

Annegret Soltau. Her style of work is very creative, she would make it look like stitches around her face and fill it with other different face features. It definitely gives the audience a wider perspective when they look at her work and compare it to other collage artist.

John Stezaker, his work is very surreal, he mainly uses old photos and collage only two of them in one, this was published at 2008. His style of work is odd but it can also show that he might change peoples perspective on other people and the difference between the difference between how old both of the photos are.

This is a self drawn image of me. Its not quite prefect but i was prety happy with how it came out. I would re-do the eyes again as one seems a bit smaller then the other one. I really like how my hair turned out to be and my mouth. It took a while for me to get the eyebrows right, sometimes it became too wide, and ive even experimented a lil and tried to do it as a indivdual strain of hair instead of itbeing a block of colour (which is what you see now), as that was the first time ive ever really used the “pen” tool in Illustrator, it was really hard . But never the less, i liked how it turned out to be.
