Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc.
Famous Pop Art artists are:
Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenburg, and Jasper Johns
Important Visual Aspects of the movement:
- Subject: from popular culture, something that everyone could recognize!
- Bright, bold colors!
- Simplified lines!
- Large, cropped in imagery
YOUR PROJECT:
1) Choose a subject: A person, place, or thing from popular culture + print it out!
2) Crop the image in closely with a 'view finder' and divide image into 1/4ths
3) Draw it large onto your final paper
4) Using tempera paint, neatly paint the image using bright and bold colors.
