Pop

Pop art is a very eclectic, fun period of art that started in Britain in the 1950’s and became extremely popular in the 1960’s, in cities such as New York. The pop art movement became popular very quickly because of how pop art artists used and glorified well-known items into art. During the 1950’s and 60’s television became very popular, people experienced movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe, and items such as food and house hold items, etc. Pop artists, like Andy Warhol, used bold primary…

that featured Selena’s death on the cover of PEOPLE and two special Tribute prints that followed shortly after, the discernment became clear: America’s largest minority group did not hold a large marketing Spanish-language magazine that represented pop culture for Hispanic communities residing in the United States. In 1996, PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL was born and hit shelves all over the country. (PEOPLE.com) PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL is not merely a translation of PEOPLE magazine, rather it is a…

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…

is showing just that in “I Love You with My Ford” he is critiquing the time we live in today as American consumers. Rosenquist is bringing to light the codes and conventions of the 1960s by painting these “items” one after another. Along with other pop artist of the day Rosenquist appropriates and remixes common images and by doing this he is creating new meanings by juxtaposition. Although the images by…

When we think about a summer anthem that makes us want to dance and sing all at the same time “one dance” is very likely to pop up in the head of most people. Everywhere you turn you can hear this sexy, provocative song playing, and as hard as you try it hard to not sing along. “One dance” has received many awards this summer, and Billboard, a popular charting company has even named it the song of the summer. It has been number one on the chart for a consecutive 14 weeks. It keeps at No. 2 on…

Rock and Roll! Rock is what I’m talking about but how did this phenomenon occur? Well it started with an African American man named Chuck Berry; He combined all the Blues and Jazz, the most popular music that was going on at the time. This brought teenagers together it was no longer black and white it was just teenagers. Rock & Roll was very controversial when it was first made to the public the adults thought it was destroying the youth with how vulgar and obscene it was. A great example of…

Looking generically, this song has the typical dance, synthesized sound which makes it seem like every other song and sound that is so popular in pop and dance right now. Because of this, lyrics about a couple in a nice city named Paris wouldn’t feel out of the ordinary for any member of the public, in fact it might seem a little too generic. I think the Chainsmokers intended for their audience members…

The genre I have chosen is Rock. Common instruments used in Rock music are mostly amplified instruments, like the electric guitar and electric bass. Rock also uses strong baseline and driving rhythms. Rock music, which was developed from rock ‘n’ roll, originated from the late 1940’s in the United States. It was influenced by country and blues music that started making a new sound using electric guitars and a balanced drum beat, which was a faster beat and rhythm instead of a slow one. Rock…

I’ve seen similar photos that people have taken that look like they froze an object that’s too fast to capture with any regular camera or even the human eye. I was interested in how it would look because people can’t really see how a water balloon pops because it happens so fast. I learned about my…

After six years of performing under the name Grimes, Claire Boucher is blasting into the stratosphere of mainstream pop; her intergalactic, out-of-this-world beats and softened sound made more palatable for radio on her fourth studio album, “Art Angels.” Trading her signature dream-pop with thudding, club beats and more confident sounding operatics, the genre-blending album covers a lot of ground in its 14 songs, and features more live instrumentation than ever before, including piano, guitar,…
