a) Why did Andy Warhol use popular images repetitively in his art ?

- To create a symbol- to amplify the connotations- to communicate a message

b) How does changing a regular image to a graphic image change the way it looks?

- Less realistic- - simplifies image- - less colours- flat 2 dimensional coloured shapes- unrealistic colours

c) How can changing a regular image into a graphic image change the images meaning? (use examples: Marilyn Monroe, BarrackObama, Che Guevera, etc.)

- Amplifies what it stands for already- less realistic more symbolic- denotation: (literal meaning) weker- connotation stronger
