Narrator: Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh, USA in 1928.
As a child, he sometimes missed school due to illness and spent the time reading comics.
He took free art classes and eventually went to college.
He then moved to New York.
Warhol’s first job was illustrating adverts in fashion.
That’s how he became interested in art and celebrities.
This inspired him to explore popular events, celebrities and fashion through his art, films and in particular photography.
But he became really well-known for screen printing in the 1960s, which allowed him to make lots of versions of the same image.
Andy Warhol took everyday things and turned them into works of art.
He influenced other artists and pop art was loved all over the world.
