Andy Serkis

I have been looking into getting into criminology here at UNI for my major. I always thought it would be a cool fun job to be a police officer. If I did become a police officer I would want to do it at a bigger city. This is why I choose to do my job shadow at the Waterloo Police Department. Waterloo is the biggest city with the most crime, that is closest to cedar falls. I want a job that you will always live on the end and that will be different from day to day. So, I called down the the…

Roy Fox Lichtenstein was born in New York City to a German-Jewish family. He grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his father Milton, a real-estate broker, his mother Beatrice, a homemaker, and his younger sister Renee. Roy Lichtenstein was one of the first American Pop artists to reach well-known notoriety, and he became a lightning rod for condemnation of the society. His early work alternated widely in style and topic matter, and displayed significant empathetic of modernist…

Andy Warhol. John Lennon. 1985-86. Synthetic polymer and silkscreen on canvas. 40 x 40 1/8in. Tony Shafrazi Gallery, New York, USA,(May-October 2005). The artwork I have chosen to describe by Andy Warhol is John Lennon. It is done with synthetic polymer and silkscreen on canvas. I think this piece of art is very different. It’s a realistic painting in the fact that it is based off of the actual person, John Lennon. It is a little abstract because the colours aren’t how you’d normally see a…

Roy Lichtenstein’s 1963 painting “Drowning Girl” is an appropriated image from the 1962 DC comic book, Secret Hearts #83, drawn by Tony Abruzzo. It also incorporates elements of the well-known Hokusai print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. In keeping with pop art tenets, Lichtenstein borrows from pop culture while removing it from context in order to make his statement. Initial criticisms accused Lichtenstein of merely copying and not creating. But Lichtenstein made conscious choices about the…

My initial impression of the image is that it is a picture of a race riot copied four times and colored to look like the American flag. By changing the color of the picture Warhol might be commenting on the subject matter of the race riot by saying that it doesn’t matter that the people are black or white everyone deserves to be treated the same. Maybe Warhol feels that this picture is the best representation of America at that point in time. It is most important for Warhol to imbue this image…

Andy Warhol was a pioneer of American pop and modern art. He broke the boundaries between popular art, and pure art and led revolutionary changes in visual arts such as film, advertising, and design as well as art. He seems like he had intuitive insights into contemporary culture, society and intuition to visualize it. I think Andy Warhol was one of the artists that expresses his creative business management skills. He chose subjects and materials from generally well known things, such as coke…

Andy Warhol graduated from Schenley High School in 1945. After high school he wanted to become…

differences from this “ideal family” of the 1950s. Immediately in the 1960s, there is a change in the depiction of the American family on TV shows. This is displayed in the top TV show during the decade, “The Andy Griffith Show”. The family in this TV show consists of windowed husband Andy Taylor, his young son Opie, and also…
