POP ART IN COMICS
Pop Art is a fun and colourful art style that became popular in the 1950s. It is known for using
everyday objects and comic-style drawings to create exciting artwork. Many Pop Art paintings
look like comic strips because they use bold colours, thick outlines, and speech bubbles.
Using Commonplace Objects and Comic Elements in Pop Art
Pop Art artists used everyday objects like soup cans, advertisements, and comic strip
characters in their artwork.
Comic book elements were widely used, such as speech bubbles, bold outlines, and halftone
dots (tiny coloured dots used in printing).
Roy Lichtenstein, a famous Pop Art artist, created paintings that looked like giant comic strips
and copied the style and storytelling techniques of comics.
