Reflection

Through this project, I learned it’s pretty difficult to produce something I consider worthy to purchase. I probably wouldn’t pay money for my own piece of art. If I could do it over again, I would spend more time carefully tracing the outline of the letter and lightning bolt in an effort to clean up some of the lines.

I think my experience creating this piece is sort of similar to Warhol’s screen-printing process. He used a different screen to apply each color, so “the application of the colors resulted in a layering effect,” similar to the manner in which I created different layers in Photoshop for the background, the letter G, and the lightning bolt. (Of course, though, in Photoshop the first color is not transposed with each of the following colors, as would be the case in screen-printing.) Additionally, Warhol could use a screen stencil multiple times and create “a different color composition each time.” This is mirrored in the way I could create one image and simply copy-paste it and change the color scheme to quickly duplicate and repeat it. In this project, using the Photoshop technology definitely helped me learn about and better understand Warhol’s industrialized, factory like process of creating art.
