Pop Art Blog (research)


Research


   What was the time period?
Pop Art was in the 1950s (1950-1960s)
      Where was it used? (detail an example)
America first, then Britain Later
      Who were some of the famous artists(name them)

Source: http://www.artmovements.co.uk/popart.htm
Roy Lichtenstein is described as the most influential artist of the second half of the 21st century He first managed to paint comic strip images, advertisements and "crude" newspaper printings.
      What are the features of a pop-art image?
One main feature that seems to be very frequent is stamping (or cloning) an image, but editing it so that it looks different (different filters like ultraviolet).
      What constitutes a pop-art image?
"Pop is everything art hasn't been for the last two decades. It's basically a U-turn back to a representational visual communication, moving at a break-away speed...Pop is a re-enlistment in the world...It is the American Dream, optimistic, generous and naïve."


      How do you think they were created?
I think that someone just decided to be creative and started to create random things and eventually, it turned into a massive breakthrough,
Something that started off as a little idea, a spark of creativity, inspired by something loved by the person creating it.

      What/where could a pop-art image be used?
Pop Art could be used in advertisements because it is very good at catching the eye.
      What product could use a pop-art image in its advertising?


      What equipment do you think you will need? (list)

Ten Pop art images






































The next thing I was set to do was to find a suitable lighting diagram for shooting the things I'd use for my Pop Art creations.
Make sure that you consider the following things whilst taking pictures of items.
Use a low ISO because you will capture a high level of detail.
Try to avoid shadow, by correctly lighting the item
Put the camera on a tripod for better stability.
Also a shallow depth of field (F4 setting).
All of these things need to be thought of when shooting my photos.
