What is POP ART?

• Pop art is a fun form of art.

• Pop art started after the second world war and was very different to the very serious fine art of the past.

Pop art often uses images that are popular in the modern world such as...

• Famous celebrities like movie stars...

• Disney characters...

• Soup cans...

Every day objects that might be found around the home were also made the focus

of works of art. Items such as...

Soft drinks...

As you can see, in many forms of pop art, the items are drawn repeatedly with

different colours and textures each time.
