produce
a silkscreen using the technique
of the Pop Artist Andy Warhol
Why do this? When choosing a printmaking technique that will help you produce expressive artwork, it helps if you choose a medium that can relate to you today. Andy Warhol used the silkscreen (serigraph) process to show images that were relevant to his own world of the 1960's & 70's. This project is meant to let you learn a new technique (silkscreen) while producing art that means something to you.
