Homework:

- devoir de compréhension orale / leçon sur la biographie de Andy Warhol

Hi guys,

today we worked on the 2nd part of Warhol's life with his debut as an artist; we asked whether you thought he could be referred to as an artist or not and you had to make a definition of what an artist is for you. Here is what you said:

An artist can become famous but it's not necessary. He/She must be talented and unique. They must have a special technique and work with a team to become famous thanks to an editor or manager. An artist has a lot of free imagination. They make a lot of art work to give emotions to the spectators. They can like it or not. There are amateur and professional arists.
