POP ART ONOMATOPOEIA WORDS

YEAR 7 ART

In the 1950s and 1960s young American and British artists wanted to make art that was inspired by things from popular culture, using advertising logos, brand names, television and cartoon characters and other consumer products in their art.  

Roy Lichtenstein an American artist, was one of the originators of the Pop Art movement. He worked in a comic book style and his paintings feature thick outlines and bold primary colours - red, yellow and blue. He used perforated templates to replicate the dot patterning used in printing imagery called Ben-Day dots. 

The Year 7 Art students created ONOMATOPOEIA WORDS – “a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes” and created a ‘pop up’ effect by making each layer stand out.
