Pop Art was born in Britain in the mid 1950s. The first application of the term Pop Art occurred during discussions among artists who called themselves the Independent Group which was part of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, begun around 1952-53 and a lot of the art died out in the 1970's but still lives on today.
Pop art was often presented as screen prints of everyday objects but colorfully presented. Their work was often amusing and used every day objects such as coke cans, dollar bills and comic strips as their subjects. Pop art also used the faces of well known people (Marilyn Monroe), again as their subjects. Just some of the famous artists are Andy Warhol and David Hockney as well as Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper John. The features of a pop art image are bright colours, comical and cartoons with the use of every day objects or famous people. I think they used to be created by hand drawings and they could also be screen printed.
A pop art image could be used in a comic strip, online websites, advertisements, billboards and photography galleries. Toys for children is something that people could use pop art for in advertisements because it's cartooney, has bright colours and looks cool. It could also be used on fizzy drinks and chocolate wrappers, album art for a musicians album or concert flyers and posters. The equipment i think ill need is: a camera, a studio or self made white backdrop, some red heads (lights), a tripod and my props that i need to bring in to be photographed.
