Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the USA. It challenged tradition by asserting that an artists use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art. In this class we will explore the concept of pop art through popular images, develop a personal style using printmaking techniques like linocuts, woodcuts, etching, and lithography.
