Instructions for making it yourself

Explained briefly

The screen-printing technique allows a template such as a photo or a picture from a newspaper to be printed on canvas. The screen, with its applied stencil, is reusable. This allows artists to use the same motif repeatedly and create a new design each time.

Artwork Andy Warhol, One Dollar Bill (Front), 1962

Andy Warhol’s first silkscreens, made in early 1962, took the front and back sides of one- and two-dollar bills as their motif. In this version, the artist prints the front of a one-dollar bill he drew himself onto the canvas. He colors the background green with diluted watercolor, and stains the main motif with blood-red paint.
