Pop Art Take 2

So here I am, still struggling with my Contemporary Technologies project (surprise, surprise) and trying to create my own Pop Art style, which is a lot harder than one would think. However, by combining the few influences I have researched and admire, such as Warhol, Julian Opie and "Waking Life" by Richard Linklater (a series head tripe) I feel that my own style has started to emerge. Here are a few of my first experiments that I am currently developing, take a look, let me know what you think and how you think I could develop it!

Pop Art

A few weeks ago I did a post about my Contemporary Technologies project and how I was making Pop Art. The first examples I showed I had literally just coloured in a still from The XX "VCR" video (not very sophisticated) so now I have my digital examples to show you. Created using Photoshop and a lot of patience!

I know they are really just copying Andy Warhol's style but I am trying a few different Pop Art styles I have researched in order to find my own style, and show what I am really trying to say with them. I know that Pop Art is really dealing with popular culture at the time and so I really need to go through the parts bin and find a perfect subject matter. But for now I hope you like my Warhol inspired images!

Contemporary Technologies

Our new project entitled Contemporary Technologies is all about appropriation within art. Every student had to send in at least 3 documents, be it video, photograph, painting etc. into a folder. We then have to make a piece of art using only what is in this folder titled "Parts Bin".

I have decided to try making Pop Art as pop artists are often associated with appropriation. At the moment I am mainly taking inspiration from Andy Warhol.
The image below is a still taken from The XX video "VCR". Using felt tip pens I coloured in 4 copies of the still. I then scanned them in together making it into an Andy Warhol type montage! I am going to try using the same picture to create the same effect using Photoshop as this project is encouraging us to use digital media!
Let me know what you think!
