Everyone has there own way to do his or her homework. I’m sadly a procrastinator when it comes to homework. I also like to work on art homework at night I feel more inspired at night. I feel like my studying habits have changed since the first year I started college. I rarely procrastinated and I used to do homework during the day with zero background noises. Now I need background noise to do any kind of homework. I like to listen to music and have a TV show playing in the background. I like watching “The Golden Girls” TV show because the show is about three older ladies that stay up late eating and talking. It’s like they are staying up with me while I pull an all-nighter for a class assignment. I enjoy also listening to rock music while I study. My favorite band to listen to is “The Beatles”. I also need all my lights on in my room to do homework. Caffeine and coffee are also very important to have during an all-nighter working on art homework. Homework and studying in college is very important. It’s good to find ways that makes studying easier so you can get all your homework done. It’s hard to do your best work if you don’t have the motivation and inspiration to do so. I have studying habits so I can do my best work. I’m trying my hardest to do my art homework on time and give it my all.

Me At Work!
This is a video of me working on my graphic design work. I used Illustrator and photoshop to create my images.
Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol was a famous pop artist that created paintings, sculptures, and photography. Warhol is most recognized for his paintings focusing on commercial goods. For example, his painting of the Campbell’s soup can is one of my favorites. He also painted iconic celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and more. His paintings were very bright and colorful. Eventually Andy Warhol opened up his own art studio called “The Factory” were he created some of his most famous work. I have been inspired by Warhol’s paintings. As a graphic designer I have incorporated some of his techniques into my own artwork. When I was a student at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga I was given an assignment for one of my graphic design class. I was given two words dance and narcissism. My assignment was to create one image that combined both words. I wanted my artwork to be bright and colorful like Andy Warhol’s paintings. My idea for the piece was to have Donald Trump represent narcissism and to have dancers and celebrities to be “Trumped Up”. In my artwork I have Marilyn Monroe, and Aubrey Hepburn on the left. In the middle of my artwork is an outline of Donald Trump, and on the right are two ballerinas. All of the figures are black and white except for the faces. Donald Trump is known for is orange fake tans so I put orange dots on top of their faces. I also placed cut out images of Donald Trumps eyes, mouth, and hands as my way of trumping up my image. I had a difficult time coming up with an idea for my project, but what helped me was the inspiration I got from looking at Andy Warhol’s designs.
