STEP 1 Learn about Pop Art and Andy Warhol

• POP ART

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to late-1950s. The movement presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane mass-produced objects. One of its aims is to use images of popular culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony.

• Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s.

STEP 7 Adjustment of quantitative values

Adjust the number in the first row. There is no standard value, just find the effect that works for your photo. Please note that this value needs to be fixed in the following steps.

STEP 8 Adjustment of the offset value

Adjust the offset in the second row. Different values will give different color effects. After you get a satisfactory color effect, click on the upper right corner to save the image.

Import the original image again and repeat steps 4-8. Repeat 8-9 times until you get 8-9 images of different colors. Note that only the offset value needs to be changed.

Your artwork doesn’t have to be the same color as the example.

STEP 9 Putting pictures together

Use any image editing application to combine 8-9 images of different colors to form the final artwork.
