He explored themes of consumerism, celebrity culture, and the intersection between art and mass media. Warhol was also a filmmaker and created films that ran just past the edge of the normality of the time and explored themes of homosexuality and love.
Why did you pick this artist and why do you like their work?
I chose this artist because he is required for the assignment, but I do like his work, especially Campbell's soup cans because it makes an item so normal into artwork that is so profound.

Keith Haring
Why is this artist’s work considered Pop Art?
Keith Haring's artwork is considered pop art because of its representation of pop topics such as love and sexuality, also through its use of vibrant colors and defined edges that make it feel youthful.
Description of Andy Warhol's art:
If I were to describe the art of Andy Warhol, I would use the terms simple, vibrant, and representational. In almost all of Andy's images, he demonstrates humanoid characters that are a solid vibrant color with thick edges. his paintings can have many of these characters or just a couple. These characters all are representational of something, and all seem to be inclusive in ways like supporting homosexuality and embracing love and emotion.
Why did you pick this artist and why do you like their work?
I chose to pick Andy Warhol's art because I feel like his art is very representational of inclusiveness and kindness. I also believe that the style of art that Andy did is what much of skate and street art is inspired by.
