Art work


Pop art

Pop art is art work that is based on modern popular culture and mass media.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol is one on the most famous artists in the world and is mostly known for his work in pop art.
The tomato soup piece has become iconic in pop art. It is instantly related to pop art. Its lines and colours are simple and not over complex which makes it easier on the eye for the viewer and it’s lines and colours are very much like the comic books at the time. It’s a very simple piece but incredibly recognisable which makes the pop art movement famous.
Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein creates pop art work in the style of old comic books. He has fame because of these classic style pieces which resemble pop art. The colours are very simple and nothing spectacular. the line are fine but harsh to give an emphasis speed and action. His work is very simple, but it is instantly understandable.

Graffiti art

Graffiti art is an art form that expresses freedom and some times in the case of Banksy, political views.

Frank creates posters that are very simple and stand out. His work is very different because they some times don't have meanings and some times they do. His work differs from simplicity and detailed posters. 


Banksy

Banksy is a graffiti artist who has become famous for his art work about political views. For example, this piece of work is about CCTV cameras being placed all over Great Britain and that we are being watched.
