Pop Art


I have created a piece of work in the style of Andy Warhol. I chose this image of Angelina Jolie, opened it in Photoshop and then used the 'stamp effect' to create a black and white image. I then printed this on acetate and added in chunks of colour to certain areas. This is similar to his famous image of the queen where I have used the squares of pink to add in some tone. I wanted to pick out areas like her eyes, lips and nails to create a really quirky effect, I did this by ripping the colours to create abstract shapes making her feature look less perfect and more pop art-ish. 








On the second image I changed round some of the colours to see how the image looked in a different style. I think it looks a little bland and the strawberry she is eating hasn't come out as well as expected and it is hard to tell what it is, maybe with more positive areas showing through more of the texture from it would show up.

Stamp


I have been looking at the stamp tool and effect on Photoshop.
 

I have first used the stamp effect to create these celebs in black and white, the effect picks out the details in black and leaves other parts white, it gives off almost a pop art effect.

Second I have used the stamp tool or clone tool to create this six headed giraffe, by taking a section by pressing 'alt' you can then position the pen elsewhere and create the section again, I chose the giraffes neck and head.

Pop Art make-up

We are doing a project on Pop Art and after watching a youtube video on how to create Pop Art make up we decided to try it ourselves and here is the finished result! :)
