Bryan Paglione
Andy Warhol
Triple Elvis













Artist Bio: The photographer I chose to do my project on is Andy Warhol
Education: Andy had a hard time in elementary school even after he got chorea. This disease caused him to miss a lot of school because he was in bed. Also from having chorea he had pink blotches on his face and all of the kid mad fun of him. High school is when Warhol took up art ion school and out of school at Carnegie Museum. He was a very quiet kid in school and always carried around his sketchbook with him. Soon Andy graduated from high school and than went to Carnegie Institute of Technology whitch he than graduated from in 1949.
Upbringing: Warhol was born on august 6th 1928 in Forest City, Pennsylvania. His mother Julia and father Ondrej were both from Slovakia. His father was a construction worker. Soon they moved to Pittsburgh, PA when Andy was a teen.
Art Experience: Andy showed a talent for art at a very early age studying commercial art at the school of fine arts. In the 50s he started working with fine art. He also made films.
Artistic Background: Andy Warhol’s life was all about art and had been into art since he was a young kid after taking lessons at Carnegie Museum. As his life went on andy started to study more and more types of art and he was most famous for pop art with 4 photos all in different colors.

My artist was into Film, drawing, and painting than in between was when he took photos to crate some of his pieces of art. Nothing inspired Warhol to become an artist but he picked up the talent aft drawing when he was in bed due to chorea when he was in elementary school. Most of his artwork was not meaning but it was created with so many colors that caught everyone’s attention and it was mainly his pop art.

The image I selected was Triple Elvis. This photo was crated with Elvis holding a gun but it was three of the same image next to each other. I chose this image because I thought It would be a cool image to recreate and when I saw this photo it made me think of my dad because he loves Elvis. My photographers style is very poppy and has a lot of colors that’s why is artwork is called pop art from the colors that makes the image stand out. Most of his photos are recreated with color and paint. What I find most interesting about his artwork is the vibrant colors in the pictures. To recreate this image I will dress my friend as best as possible to look like Elvis in the photo and have him holding a gun. Than I will triple the photo on Photoshop and align them how they are in the original photo.
