Andy Warhol is an INSPIRATION!!

Watching the video clips about the works of Andy Warhol was an inspiration to me. Even though it was a documentary video clips which isn't fun and entertaning as most commercial video, I felt surprised and amazed by his works as the more I watched, just like watching the fireworks during count-down, there are so many different type of achievement that he accomplished in his life.

How should I address him? An artist? A painter? Commercial illustrator? Producer? An Author? A designer? A famous person? He is ALL of these. He painted and painted a lot of great paintings like the portraits of celebrities:Marilyn Monroe, Liss and Alvis Presley. Also, the idea of the concept paintings like "Fear of Death" and religious paintings of Christianity. He designed and illustrated many commercial products and made his own style to the brand--Campbell, Brillo, Kelloyg and Mott. He also produced films and music. And also, as an author, he wrote and displayed his personal and cultural observations
.WOW, so amazing to find such a person with great talent famous across decades!! Andy Warhol is truly a life inspiration!

When I was watching the video, there was a question came across my mind--"What kind of person is he like?" Well, from his works, I figured out that he is very passionate to his life and his work. He is sensible,
innovative, daring, creative, sensitive, clever, ingenious and artistic. That is why he is special, his works are unique, amazing and fabulous. He is famous because he is marvelous.

I think I'm going to use him as a model to teach in my classroom as I think he has the influence to this world and hopefully my students will be inspired and motivated by him.
wow, wOw, WOW! This is the only blog I used the most adjectives to describe a person. He is just so inspiring!!
