One. Andy Warhol's artistic creation techniques

（a） The understanding of Andy Warhol

There are various schools of art in the American society at that time. The word \"pop\" was invented by British critic Lawrence Alloway. It refers to the noise after a sudden expansion， similar to the sound of a balloon.

Pop artists think art should be populist， they want to overthrow Abstract Expressionism and through art works to reproduce the status of the society at that time. Andy Warhol is an artist who engaged in civilian art creation， and he is a model of Pop Art. Now ， take Andy Warhol， the great pop artist， as an example to analyze. Andy's art is \"civilian\"， and in his works \"civilian\" is equivalent to \"public familiar\". The daily life of the masses has become the source of his inspiration， he just like any other pop artist， takes daily life in art as the principle to create his art.

（b） Analyzing Andy Warhol's works

Vacuum pursuit of Andy Warhol's life is the theme of approaching life， looking for a kind of unconscious consciousness， in the seemingly game of life under the condition of demonstrating its consideration of art itself great seriousness. In the art of building itself， additional commercial modern art show to people， to express their views in art， while earning the art of profit and self-value effect. Andy used his own artistic action and image to interpret and become the best spokesperson for personal brand. Because of his pursuit of this printing effect， including his contemporary mass production of mass consumer goods and star politics theme sought after， which really breaks the boundary between art and life. The pop art of this kind of recombination and replication， in the process of art creation， has aroused more and more people's infinite curiosity about his creative intention.

In Andy's works， the general theme can be divided into six categories： celebrity series， consumer goods series， death series， myth series， famous painting copy series， endangered animal series. Among the celebrities.

\"Green Coca-Cola bottle\" （Figure one） is one of the works of consumer products series of Andy Warhol. Andy always thought that in everyday life， visual objects are often easy to understand， because of this， the artist chooses the Coca-Cola bottle which is full of elements in every corner of everyday life. And this choice is very popular with the people， but Andy is not just to convey the popularity of Coca-Cola. As every piece of Andy's works， whether from the choice of subject matter or reproduction， printing and other creative methods， is well thought out.The essence of this work is to link Coca-Cola with the current industrial products at that time. Through such a unique language， the impact of industrial production on human living space environment at that time was shown.

Two. the sense of distance derived from contemporary public murals

（a）Connotation of publicity

Mural art is not only one of the art types， but also an artistic representation of the development of human civilization. \"Public art\" in the rapid development of economic and cultural front， keep showing the charm of art. At the same time， the progress of human civilization also provides sufficient conditions for the development of mural art. The development of mural art has gradually become a public resource， also known as \"public art\"， so the murals must also be public under the trend of the public. However， many of the modern public murals have been derailed with the times， so even if the creation of how excellent， it cannot resonate with the viewers. The problem that faces now is the indifference of the public to the public mural paintings， and the emergence of this indifference comes from the absence of intersection between the two， and cannot achieve the unity of thought or emotion.

（b） The problems of modern public murals

Mural painting has played an important role in human history. With the development of the times， modern murals can be seen everywhere， such as in subways， airports and streets. In the era of rapid economic development， pervasive pressures have completely surrounded the lives of the masses. And this is the present status， this situation can also become the theme of mural painting. The so-called publicity is that the individual art orientation of artists needs to be carried out under the approval of all levels of audience， but cannot go by himself to realize.

（Three） The selected direction of the elements of public murals.

Andy's works are in line with the trend of development at that time， Andy's works are in line with the trend of development at that time， The reason why Andy is in that all kinds of modern art trend， change constantly emerge， because he has a vision for the future development of art， the courage and insight in artistic creation and a keen insight into the real world. To break the current situation bravely and try to create is the necessary condition for the perfection of contemporary public murals in China. In today's rapidly developing China， what does the public need， money， rights， or the desire for freedom？The development of public murals can only be taken from capturing the true emotional direction of the masses， so as to make the contemporary Chinese public murals refresh.
