What is Pop-Art?

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 Johns. Also pop-art was used to paint or take images of everyday objects and then making then very colourful using bright and intense colours so they would stand out. These objects include tomato soup, shoes, a toy duck, and drink bottles. Some objects were shot to advertise their brand as it brought everyone's attention from the genre they used which made them want to buy their product.

There were some famous pop art artists who brought this genre to life such as Keith Haring who is a New York artist and is famous for his cartoon like outlined pictures of people doing different things as his art was inspired by graffiti. Another famous pop art artist is David Hockney who is considered one of the most famous and important English artists of the 20th century as he played a major role in the development in pop art. The third famous pop art artist is named Jasper Johns who is famous for painting the American flag and paining the map of the United States as well as a paining with only numbers on them which was named "Numbers in colours"

The features of Pop Art artwork are having clear lines, sharp paintwork and clear presentation of symbols people, and objects found in popular culture. Pop Art artists were looking for inspiration from the world around them and making artwork from everyday objects around them and artwork about the media around them.
