Pop-Art Proposal

Proposal 

This assignment has a theme of Pop-Art which is an image or a piece of artwork of an everyday object that is made to look colourful using bright and intense colours with clear lines and sharp paintwork. It is about capturing images or paining artwork which represents the media and culture of the modern day such as a cola bottle or Marilyn Monroe in the 1960's and Pop-art was first introduced in the 1950's but it became popular in the 1960's as it started in the UK but soon became a true art movement in New York City with different artists such as Andy Warhol and Jasper.

Our assignment is to create a Pop-Art image using any everyday objects we would like such as a can of soup, Cola bottle, etc. We are asked to bring in at least 5 objects which we would consider using to create our final pop-art image. 

My 5 objects that I will bring for my next lesson to shoot will be 3 cans of drinks which will be Coke, Sprite, and Fanta in one shoot, second object will be sweets such as skittles, in a different shoot, Packets of Walkers crisps, an mp3 player, and a bottle of Frijj milkshake all objects in different shots. I decided to use these objects because all of them are colourful or have colourful packaging which will make my pop art image really bright as I can increase the contrast and decrease or increase the brightness. 

When I finish doing my shoot, I will have to move on to Photoshop to create my Pop-Art image and the tools I will have to use to create this will be the pen tool which will be used to cut out my object to get rid of the background so I can add any background I want. If the background has no shadows or any other object behind it, I could use the Magic Wand tool which is used to also get rid of the background but only in a quicker way which only works if the background has one colour. I could use to Curves and Levels tool to make my image brighter or darker and change the contrast if I need to improve my image and add a bright colour for my background such as orange or green giving it a good Pop-art effect. After I do all this I will press Alt and hold on to the image of my object and then I will paste it on to the same page so I can have 6 of the same image on one page. Doing this will create the pop-art effect but just to make it better I will change the colour of each image making it look like a real pop-art image. 

Here is how I will set up and here are the props I will use which are: Lights such as a red head, camera to shoot my images, tripod to support the camera, white sheet of paper for the background, and my object which will be used to edit on Adobe Photoshop CC.
