Pop Art Acrylic Painting
The Madison Middle School 8th Grade Art Students studied the art movement of Pop Art. Pop Art brought art back to the material realities of everyday life, to popular culture, in which ordinary people derived most of their visual pleasure from television, magazines, or comics.
Pop Art emerged in the mid 1950s in England, but realized its fullest potential in New York in the ’60s where it grabbed the attentions of the art world. Popular Commercial items were used as the center of this art thus came the name Pop Art. The media and advertising were favorite subjects for Pop Art’s often witty celebrations of consumer society. Perhaps the greatest Pop artists, whose innovations have affected so much subsequent art, was the American artist, Andy Warhol (1928-87).
The students discussed how artist use art to express their feeling, likes, and dislikes. They also studied the color scheme of monochromatic. The students then choose a popular commercial item that was meaningful to them and using the principles of composition and design and they created an original acrylic painting confining themselves to a monochromatic color scheme.
