I just want 1 comment for each5.In today’s society, I personally consider those pictures as Pop Art. According to (Lazzari, 2011), Pop art is basically a type of art movement which started the late 1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. This type of art entails an introduction of imagery to find and traditional art. These images are usually bold and they represent physical things that we usually see in our daily lives including soup cans, celebrities, types of food like hotdogs, animals, comic strips, and other things including consumer product seals and labels, as well as brightly painted colors among others. Pop art has always been seen as a type of art which copies what others have done or what is already existing. Three major characteristics of pop art include satire, humor, and irony, bright colors, and recognizable imagery.2. How do you think that Pop Art challenge conventional ideas about originality?I think Pop art challenged conventional ideas about originality because it was all about copying something that is already existing and making it better. For instance, Andy Warhol, in the year 1962 produced a detailed and fine art from an image of a woman called Marilyn Diptych. Here, Andy Warhol did not think of an image and pointed it, instead, he manipulated or rather ‘edited’ the image of Marilyn Diptych and came up with fourteen different images of her. This is considered Pop art. This is because the artwork passed across a meaning as opposed to when it is just a picture. Therefore, Pop art challenged the idea of originality, in that, the artists did not think of something that original but rather took something that already existed and changed it. The new artwork would, therefore, pass across a message.3. Is it original if it’s taken from already existing imagery?There is no black and white answer to this question. However, personally, I would say yes provided the new artwork is not exactly the same as the original imagery. I believe that ‘most pop objects represents an obvious appropriation of the artist’s work. Nevertheless, this appropriation may occur without infringement if the copying is done from the model used by the artist, the original product, instead of from the art itself’ (Sneirson, 1968). Legally speaking, “while copyright was designed to promote the arts through the granting of exclusive rights, new art forms may lack this protection because the developed rules have failed to consider the possible ramifications of future artistic developments. Pop art presents perhaps the most blatant example of this problem” (Sneirson, 1968). Because of this, I, therefore, believe that even if the artwork was taken from an already existing imagery, it is still an original.4. Provide an example that YOU would consider Pop Art, from the textbook.The best example that I consider Pop art from the textbook it the painting by Judith Leyster’s Boy Playing the Flute painted between the years of 1630 and 1635 in the Netherlands. The Judith “captures the pride and the enthusiasm of the young musician as he glances at his audience, likely looking for their approval” (Lazzari, 2011).Judith Leyster, Boy Playing the Flute, 1630-1635, Netherlands5. In today’s world, what kinds of images would be considered POP ART?I believe Graffiti images would be considered Pop art in today’s world. This is because most of the Graffiti images always involve copying what it already exists and use it to pass across a message. Graffiti images are also used in comic books which are still considered Pop art. Graffiti is not only painted on the streets but are also used in adverts. Consider the following four examples of graffiti images which represent Pop art of today:ReferencesLazzari, M., & Schlesier, D. (2011). Exploring art: A global, thematic approach. CengageLearning.
