POP+RESEARCH

I. Pop Art
a. How do we define Pop Art? b. How did it evolve? What social/historical factors are represented in Pop Art? Some people question whether Pop art is Art. Why?

II. Pop artists: Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Roy Lichtenstein
You must have at least one visual example of art by each artist that is properly cited.

Describe the work of each artist: what types of materials did they use? what was the meaning or purpose of their work? what were they trying to express? (no biographies, no wikipedia)
