                           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.
