Andy Warhol – Silk Screen Printing

Andy Warhol was an American artist, who is most famous for his silk screen prints and pop art.

The type of silk screen prints that Andy Warhol created are slightly different to the silk screen print I created with a stencil.

This Black Bean Soup print is amazing it is very clear and detailed for a screenprint. I like the fact that this 2-D screenprint on paper has a depth perception so it looks 3-D. The silver on the can looks realistic as it is shiny.

I love this screenprint Andy Warhol has created as it has bright bold colours and it is very detailed. This would be very difficult to create using stencil printing as you would have to work out what parts of the stencil you want to remove and to print and what part you don’t want to cut out and therefore not print.

All of Andy Warhol’s screenprints are extremely effective.
