Japanese pop culture

The fact of reality is that teenagers create the pop culture within each generation. With a new era of children, it brings forth new stories, fashion statements, ideas, and entertainment that was never heard before. Unique. Simple. It creates an undeniable growth as a humanity as we continuously make social and political change, learning from those before us. In comparison, the Great Generation is much different from Millennials, their history being different. Those who grow up within the era…

The meaning of the work, however, is unclear at first glance. Rosenquist, being a pop artist from the 1960’s, probably designed this piece so it would have no meaning, and therefore giving it meaning. Geometry of Fire is about breaking away from the cultural norms, and just creating something, even if it doesn’t have an obvious meaning or symbolic reference. When compared to other pop artist, such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, a parallel are easily drawn, and supports my interpretation…

colors, two-dimensional lines and shapes that appear to have three-dimensional depth, and above all there is no sign of a brushstroke. These stylistic characteristics correlate well with the pieces of Pop art movement. In the late 1970’s, Roland Barthes, a literary theorist and philosopher, wrote that the Pop artist “has no depth: he is merely the surface of his pictures, no signified, no intention, anywhere.” In this way, Victor Vasarely and his art stand in stark contrast and would provide a…

Jim Dine talked about how he as a pop artist was not as concerned with theory and color as artist like Pollock. Before Pollock’s movement paintings there was some kind of shape and one’s eye would be directed around the work of art. Pollock ignored these rules when it came to these paintings. The Pop artists also ignored the rules of what art was in that they worked in was that were not considered to be high art; comic…

The Boardwalk Muse I followed the ancient, rickety boardwalk through the rows of corn that went to the ends of my Earth. The early summertime dew had a perfume of light magic that hung in the air like the fireflies that danced in and out of my vision. Pounding against the decrepit boards, my bare feet were getting tired from the running I was doing, but I couldn 't stop now. John was waiting for me near the ocean at the end of the lane, our little spot. Nothing more than a puny fishing…

Graphic design styles are greatly influenced by the past. Production methods such as silkscreen printing have been revisited and adapted many times since being created. This technique was popularized almost a century ago and since then, has been explored by both designers and artists. Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein both began screen-printing in the 1960s and heavily influenced the popularity of the printing method in both art and design. It has a unique style that also influences modern…

"How was your first day?!" My mom called from the kitchen as I slammed the door to the apartment. "Great, just great." I muttered. My mom emerged from the kitchen, wiping her hands on a towel and frowning. Her brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she was still in her work clothes. My mom works at the hair shop down the street, it doesn 't bring in much money but it 's enough to keep us alive, I suppose. "Was that sarcasm that I heard?" She cocked an eyebrow at me questionably. "Sorry."…

Pop Art was a movement that started out in Britain during the 1950’s and ended at the beginning of the 1970’s. It was a form of art that challenged the traditional views of fine art by placing a new modern spin on things. Pop Art placed modern things and people from that time period into pieces of art that were considered non-traditional. Many artists used household items and celebrities in an abstract way to draw attention to their work. Many believe that in doing so, Pop Art helped to…

Amy, Amy, Amy. Adobe Photoshop, Amy Winehouse portrait. To make this Pop art inspired artwork, I simply used a picture of Amy Winehouse and manipulated it on Adobe Photoshop to make it look similar to the Marilyn Monroe pop art by Andy Warhol. The source of my inspiration was the Pop Art movement, more specifically Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe and Campbell’s soup repetitive pop art. The reason why this movement inspired me to do my artwork is because I like it. It is very pronounced and…
