  1. Pop Art Line, Shape, color, and pattern

  2. What is Pop Art? • Pop Art appreciates popular culture, or what we also call “material culture.” It does not critique the consequences of materialism and consumerism; it simply recognizes its pervasive presence as a natural fact.

  3. Pop Art the Movement • Pop Art was originally a U.S. and British art movement in the 1950s and 60s • Artists in Great Britain began including American pop figures in their works as a sort of tribute to the relatively new nation’s growing economy and post-war optimism. American artists moved in a decidedly different direction, taking a more critical look at their own culture.

  4. How is Pop Art Characterized? • Attention on familiar images/objects of pop culture • Interest in mass media, advertising, comics and consumer products

  5. How is Pop Art Characterized? • Emphasizes flatness and frontal presentation, bright and bold colors (red, blue, and yellow). • They use mechanical and other deliberately inexpressive techniques that imply the removal of the artist's hand and suggest the depersonalized processes of mass production.

  6. How is Pop Art Characterized? • Themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture • Advertisements • Comic books • Celebrity images • Mundane Cultural objects

  7. Andy Warhol Commercial artist who became known for his silkscreens of celebrities and everyday objects.

  8. Andy Warhol • Andy Warhol work continues to sell for millions every year. His obsession with celebrity and mass production has influenced many of the most successful contemporary artists. But his legacy reaches far beyond the art world. The Warhol brand is instantly recognizable, widely reproduced, and at home in both high art and popular culture.

  9. What is branding? • One of the best definitions of brand I’ve seen from the Tronvig Group. To them, a brand is what sticks in your mind associated with a product, service, or organization – whether or not , at that particular moment, you bought or did not buy.

  13. Roy Lichtenstein Created art with a Comic Book style Colors are basic, black-outlined Skin colors created with BEN-DAY DOTS…

  14. What are Ben-Day Dots? • Ben-Day dots are always of equal size and distribution in a specific area. Back in the day, pulp comic books used Benday Dots in primary colors to inexpensively create the secondary colors such as flesh tone.

  15. Roy Lichtenstein Roy Lichtenstein M-Maybe, 1965.

  16. How did he create the “Dots?” • At first, Roy dipped a plastic bristled dog-grooming brush into the paint to make the dots. Later, he used metal stencils, then paper stencils, for painting his Ben-Day dots. This new technique became Roy’s unique trademark style.
