                                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
                      The uses of Commonplace objects and comic elements in Pop Art are given below:

                         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.

                          Bright colours and exaggerated expressions were key features of pop art inspired by comics,
                         making the pictures look dramatic and eye-catching.
                      Integration of Art Styles into Comic Strips

                      The integration of art styles into comic strips is given below:

                          Comic strips borrowed ideas from pop art by using bright, bold colours and enhanced visual
                         effects to make them more exciting.
                          Some comic artists experimented with creative and different backgrounds, inspired by bold
                         pop art designs.

                          Modern comics use pop art techniques such as high contrast, simple shapes and flat colours
                         to make the artwork stand out.
                          The mix of pop art and comic strips influenced graphic novels, advertisements and digital

                         illustrations, making them more colourful, creative and fun to look at.
