This month you will continue learning and practicing Photoshop, and you will create a Magazine Cover and a Book Cover. Later on, probably in April, you will learn about Pop Art artists and create some Pop Art exercises, inspired by Andy Warhol’s work and other Pop Artists. You will learn about Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Yayoi Kusama (contemporary artist - the queen of polka dots), Keith Haring and others.
You will also create a poster for the “National Poetry Contest 2018” to practice techniques learned in class and review how to create effective posters.

POP ART
Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged during the mid 1950's. A sign of the times, the style focused on mass production, celebrities and the expanding industries of advertising, TV, radio and print media - shaping a new cultural identity in the field of art and design.
Pop art is characterized by brash, bold, colorful and humorous artwork. Pop Art incorporated many design elements, including different styles of painting, sculpture, collage and street art.
Pop art artists challenged the traditions of the art by incorporating imagery of popular culture.
