Appropriation in art is the use of pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them.
Subversion refers to an attempt to transform the established social order and its structures of power, authority, and hierarchy.
Andy Warhol's work has been appropriated again and again by different artists to convey messages.

But Andy Warhol himself was an appropriator, most of his subjects were photographs, such as Marilyn Monroe and the flowers.
It makes us rethink what exactly an 'original' is. Does it have to be entirely original work by the artist for it to be taken seriously? Or is an original twist on something already existing enough?
Fanzines started in the 1970s and by definition are a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication based around certain cultural phenomenons. They were created by cutting and arranging parts of newspapers and magazines.
Task: Use parts from newspapers and magazines to create a fanzine-style page.
The first words I saw were 'war zone' on the front of the Metro, so I made this the theme by looking for words associated with war. I then found a couple of images of people who look distressed and upset.
