Room+8+ART+Day

 See our works of art in our Online Galleries; Gallery No.1 Gallery No.2 //__**Individuality Bonded By Common Rights**__// Look at these examples of how fingerprints are used in art. Did you know that fingerprints are unique to every human being? Our fingerprint separates us all. One thing which unites us all are our Human Rights. To recognise our individuality and to celebrate our common rights, we will be making a wall of Warhol-style fingerprint images. __//** Andy Warhol Printing Technique **//__
 * __Room 8 Art Day__ **

Andy Warhol was a famous American pop-artist who died in 1987. He used printing to create a distinctive repeated colour style print. It has been copied many times since! The style relies on symmetry, regularity and vivid colours. Each original image is repeated 4 times, in different colours, often being superimposed over the top of an original. Sometimes a plain colour is used as a background for the print.

Find some examples of fingerprint art. Also try to become familiar with this style of Warhol pop-art. Take a look at your own fingerprint. What type of fingerprint do you have? Follow the link to [|learn more about fingerprints] and how they make us unique. You will NOT be copying your own fingerprint onto the art work during the arts day- you will be looking at designs which resemble fingerprints.
