POP ART - Painting Translations

Bobby L. chose Jordans as his Pop-art expression.

Jacoby S. uses the negative space expertly in his translation of Beats for his Pop-art painting. I think Warhol [Andy] would have been very impressed.

Students studied the political, social and economic factors that contributed to the Pop Art Movement. They investigated the lives of the notable artists of the time. However, for this assignment I asked them to reflect upon the "popular culture" images of today. I required the students to place a great deal of focus on the negative and positive space, so that emphasis would be placed on the iconic imagery.
