Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was an American artist that lead the artistic movement of pop art. His works are a mixture of artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertising, which he creates in various formats like photographies, sculpting, painting, among others. Below is a picture of Warhol with some of his contour line drawings.

The Project

This project was based in the concept of the contour line. I was required to draw several objects, brought by the teacher to the class, by doing gesture drawing or blind contour. I decided to make different variations of the use of lines. Some of them were strictly the outline of the edges, others were continuous contour drawings, and others continuous gesture drawings.

The following video shows the creation of an art piece by using contour lines and blind contour.
