Does Anyone Have Any Ideas For Modern Pop Art?

• Im using pop art for my art exam at school this year and i was wondering if anyone had any good ideas that i could use for pieces on pop art? xxx

• Answer:

  Hi Roy Lichtenstein defined pop art as:'the use of commercial art as the subject matter in painting' -he must be counted, together with Andy Warhol, who was raiding graphic and mass- media sources about the same time and more or less independently, as one of its leading protagonists. We could in fact state that Pop Art took everyday icons of the era and turned them into an art form. We could divide it up into the following categories: Mass produced Art: Andy Warhol, using his silk screen printing techniques Painting: Roy Lichtenstein, Large scale cells from comic strips. Sculpture: Claes Oldenburg, with his giant clothes pegs, and soft sculpture cookers and fridges. May I suggest that you refer to the following : 'Art' edited by Dr Robert Belton published by Flame Tree Publishing 2002 ISBN 1-903-817-994 'Techniques of the Modern Artists' by Collins,Welchman, Chandler and Anfam. published by Greenwich Editions 2001 ISBN 0-86288-190-0 Maybe the answer is to consider what you would call the modern icons for today, and reproduce those using the techniques of artists of the pop art period that you like. Hope this helps you!
