Who is Andy Warhol?
Today we learnt all about the American artist Andy Warhol. He was famous for exploring popular culture through his art pieces. He was even nicknamed 'The Prince of Pop'!
Andy Warhol was born in 1928 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He showed off his talents as a young boy by drawing and painting. Warhol Studied commercial art at university and worked as an illustrator for some famous magazines in New York City once he graduated.
In the 1960's Warhol decided to paint popular items that were mass produced, such as his famous Coke Bottles and Campbell's Soup Cans. Warhol used a combination of paint and silk screening to create his pop art.
