Color Texture & Materials

Silk or synthetic textiles are often used, as well as LEDs, disco balls, and rhinestones which can all be used as decorations.

Characteristics

Using pictures from the media:

The use of recognized imagery from American popular culture is what makes Pop Art the most recognizable.

Elevating everyday objects:

Pop Art elevates everyday objects, like soup cans, to the level of fine art. When painters incorporated materials or imagery from daily life into their fine art throughout the 1950s and 1960s, they gave priority to the common and cliche.

Repetition:

Pop artists frequently used the same image multiple times. While Roy Lichtenstein painted Ben-Day dots to resemble the appearance of printed comic strip images, Andy Warhol created his artwork using screen printing, a method employed in mass production.

Bold Colors:

Bold primary colors like vivid red, dazzling yellow, and royal blue were used by pop artists. Along with neon and fluorescents, they also used unusual colors that are not seen in nature. The goal of pop art was to capture the viewer's attention right away.
