Art History

"100 Cans of Campbell Soup"

The art piece Alex, Liv, Nicole and I recreated is Andy Warhol's "100 Cans of Campbell Soup". The painting depicts exactly what it's called- 100 cans of Campbell soup. It is from the popart movement which began in the 1950's. Popart is unique because it illustartes recognizable things from modern culture. Andy Warhol is probably the most famous popart artist but some others are Roy Lichtenstein, and Jasper Johns. 

Our Piece 

When creating the piece, my group worked together to paint the cans. Liv made the presentation and helped Alex and I present it. Nicole volunteered to have her face painted and actually appear in the video. We had an equal share of the work involved in the project.

If I were to do this project again I don't think I would change much, I am really proud of the way it turned out. I would definitely want to do this project again though, it was really fun and I learned a lot.

Portrait

My portrait peice is a charcoal drawing of my twin sister when she was younger. I definitely took a risk in the process of making this piece. I decided to use charcoal- one of my least favorite materials. I have very little experience using charcoal and I was sort of nervous, but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it. By using an unfamiliar material, I developed my art making skills.  Maybe I will choose to use charcoal on a future project.
