WHAT DO YOU NOTICE? Nobody is perfect. I am nobody. Don’t believe anything until it’s officially

denied. Elvis is dead. Einstein is dead. Mozart is dead. And I am not feeling great either. Of course I’m going to drive, I’m too drunk to

walk.

The verb is always the same: ‘to be’

HOW TO USE ‘TO BE’. Oh… Hello. My name

is Andy Warhol. You are my audience

today. I’m a pop-art artist

you know. This is one of my

pieces of art.

It is good, isn’t it?

HOW TO USE ‘TO BE’. I am going to tell you

about pop-art. Does anyone know what this is?

I’m going to show you.

WHAT IS POP-ART? Look at this picture. Do you recognise the

item in the painting?What is it?

It is indeed a can of soup. My favourite soup.

WHAT IS POP-ART? Now look at this picture. Do you recognise the

person in the painting?Who is she?

It’s Marilyn Monroe, the famous singer and actrice.

How many Marilyns are there in the picture?

WHAT IS POP-ART? So you see, pop-art is

an art-form in which I’m a specialist.

The artworks are inspired on popular mass products, such as the soup, or popular people like Marylin Monroe.

We always make more than one work of art.

WHAT IS POP-ART? Pop-art is a reaction to

the traditional art.It is based on the principle that even everyday things like the soup can (or tin as the British like to call it) can be taken out of perspective to create art.

Art is art.
