Pop Art

El Paso Museum of Art currently has an exhibition of Andy Warhol and his Pop Art. For our first post I have decided to discuss Pop Art and critique the work of Mr. Warhol.

 What is Pop Art?

According to the ArtEncyclopedia, Pop Art is a style of art which explores the everyday imagery that is so much a part of contemporary consumer culture. Common sources of imagery include advertisements, consumer product packaging, celebrity photographs, and comic strips.

What are the Elements of Pop Art?

Some of the most obvious elements  of Pop Art include: Color, Shape, Size, and texture. Some of the composition principle include unity, balance and pattern.



  

 

Looking at some of Warhol's most popular work what are some of the common elements we can find on  these expressions of art? The following questionscan be answered as a student/parent team at home.  I have spoken with my very good friend Dr. Michael Tomor, Director of the El Paso Museum of Art and he is excited to have us on Monday as his guest and he is looking forward to answer all they questions you might have. Parents, you are also invited to our field trip. For additional questions please email me at g.morales@anywhereelementary.edu

 

Why do you think he used very vibrant tones of color?

Why did he use the same pattern in most of his work?

What are some of the contrast that made his work unique?

What is the name of the technique Warhol used in his work?

Do you think using repetition on his pieces made Warhol a unique artist?

Do you think Warhol's imagination was limited or do you think he was persuing uniqueness? Why?
