Marilyn So Blue
Materials: Acrylic paint on cartridge paper
To create an art piece of post modern art, I painted this image of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe is a very popular icon who has inspired people in the pop culture society. Artist, Andy Warhol created many art pieces which contained images of Monroe. Since she was a very popular icon, it would be easy for people to look at an image and know that it is Marilyn Monroe.
To create this painting, I first drew the outline of Marilyn Monroe using pencil, and then I painted the inside silhouette using blue paint, then painted the background using orange paint. I thought that since blue and orange are contrasting colours, this would help to make the figure of Marilyn Monroe stand out.
As an inspiration for this art piece, I looked at one of Andy Warhol's famous paintings of Marilyn Monroe. In this painting, he used multiple colours to create different images of Marilyn Monroe, making different parts of the face stand out throughout each image.
