Warhol Design Project
Assignment:
Now that you've learned how to precisely add color to a black and white image, let's apply that knowledge in a fun and personal setting. In this project, you are going to paint several renditions of a picture of yourself and arrange it in a grid. A famous artist that used this technique to develop pop art advertising is Andy Warhol. We are going to mimic this technique to create an original, personal piece of art.

-
Use one photo of yourself.

Crop the photo to be square.

Duplicate the photo 3 more times.
