Andy Warhol

by Tyler from DuBois

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

In honor of Andy Warhol, I did research about this hero in “Biography Today.” I chose Andy Warhol because I like his art work. After the research, I was glad I did because I learned so much about him.

Who knew such a normal beginning would give the world such a hero? Andy’s birth name was Andrew Warhola. He was born on August 6, 1928. His place of birth was Pittsburgh, McKeesport, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Andy Warhol had no children or a wife. His parents, Julia and Ondrej came as immigrants from Slovakia. After a great life of artistry, he died on 1987.

The foundation of heroism is education. Andy Warhol attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Hard work contributes to heroism. Andy Warhol created a new fashion style at that time with blonde hair and leather clothing that became very popular. One of Andy Warhol’s most famous pieces of art is the label of the Campbell's soup can.

Andy Warhol is important to mankind and changed the world. He changed pop art in a huge way. His unique styles of art were very new at the time. Nobody has seen anything like it before.
