Pop Art

Pop Art began in the United States in the 1960's. Pop artists used images from billboards, comic strips, advertisements, etc for their artwork. They took everyday items and turned them into art such as Andy

Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can. What common everyday

items do you find interesting?

For this assignment, you need to consider what objects and images would be considered Pop Art today. From

that, choose an image. We will be duplicating that image four times, a common format used by Andy Warhol. Think about your composition. How big does it need to be? Where should it be placed? Does it create interesting negative space?

Your image needs to be painting using four color schemes. More about that later!
