He was the best known artist of my growing up years. This lesson was on portraits done Warhol style...photographic, flattened to two or three values. The first step was to find a good photo...had to be somebody famous and glamorous, someone Warhol would choose. (picture #1) Then I photo-shopped it to black and white and flattened it to just a few values. (picture #2) The students then copied it four times on their sketch pads. (Warhol loved repetition) They had to use three colors, using different color scheme for each of the four. Picture #3 shows Grant's final product: Portrait of Johnny Depp. I loved how these turned out. (more student work to come)
