 Although we already began the Pop Art lesson in class this week, I decided to create a very brief overview of what we discussed in class for the purpose of those who missed the lecture due to testing. We discussed the art movement, Pop Art, and Post Pop art.  The pop art movement began in the US and in Britain in the 1950's and reached its peak of activity in the 1960's. Its main subject matter was everyday images such as comic strips, billboards, consumer products and celebrity images. The Pop artists of this movement reproduced everyday common items and caused us to view them in a different light. If you missed class due to testing, please watch the tutorial and be prepared to begin the Pop art lesson first thing Monday.
