Pop art , the time period for pop art emerged around 1950-1960 It was most prominent in American art but soon spread to Britain which they would make art based around everyday objects such as, shoes, cans and drinks. Some of the most famous artists where Roy Lichtenstein painted pictures based on comic strip images, advertising imagery and overt adaptations of works of art by others. Here is an example of one of Roy Lichtenstein’s famous artworks.

What makes a pop art images is mainly primary colors or a few colors that stand out and are bright mainly 3-4 colors and two or more images that use the same colors but in different areas. When pop art originated the themes where mainly based around such things like Coca Cola or comic strips this is because in that era it was popular hence the name ‘pop art’

A pop art image can be used in many different places such as, billboards for advertisement, in places such as Ikea that sell pop art images to put around your house, magazines to emphasize products and street art is also a popular one for modern culture.

Today's digital artists make use of computer aided design programs such as Photoshop rather than paints which are preferred by traditional artists their pop art was often in the form of screen prints of everyday objects, colorfully presented. They used simple techniques to create their artwork such as the silk screen process.

Certain companies can use pop art to advertise their products such as Coca cola, sprite, Fanta this is because their logos on the drinks have a bright color to it and pop art would emphasize this by swapping all the colors around or by adding different colors to it.
