| Get Popped! Pop art looks out into the world. It doesn't looked like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself. |
Taking from its roots, art has been a part of our life for as long as civilization has existed. For thousands of years people have been creating, looking at, criticizing, and enjoying art. Probably, art has been a medium of expression of truth and belief, emerged at the time proliferation of humankind began. Some art dares our beliefs, views and opinions. Other works affirm our faith and devotion. Art is an essential instrument in causing us to scrutinize our beliefs in light of an artists' interpretation or perception of truth. Humans have been making art from diverse kind, aspects and form, which include the creation of phantasmic imageries or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, prinmaking, photography and other visual media. Art brings beauty into our world. Art is important because it makes our world a better place. It also brings a sense of enjoyment and pleasure. Art immortalizes people, places, and events. Artists create a chromatic record of life experiences reminiscing the memorable and challenging social injustices, such as slavery and abuses, in time. Artists serve as historians in this role, documenting life on canvass, photography, or sculpture. Art may be used to express chaos and misunderstanding, or to establish order from what appears to be chaos.
And now, here's the deal:
Since the Pop Art emerged during the mid-20th century AD, it became the basis of most beautiful things we are doing today. From painting, layouting, doodling, writing, saying, editing and to singing, art design nowadays dominates through the period of Pop Art and has been used in our everyday living. Try to watch a television show today and keep an eye on a music television channel. What you see is a bunch of pop art in motion picture. Give yourself a time to read a magazine. Have you seen a handful of pop art-themed graphical design on each page? Don't tell me you didn't! (I doubt it). The mysterious question is, how did it influence us through the ages? What particular era did art has become mainstream? Many of the modern artist try to convert classical art to modern art for example. The portrait of Lisa Gherardini (popularly known as Mona Lisa) has been reworked so many times in today's era, adapting Renaissance art to a modern one. Every art era has its own importance. Whether it is from the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance civilization, art has been used to express the entire range of human feelings and spiritual beliefs. “Art was a pleasure in itself”, according to humanist ideas. For me, all of those era has influenced us in various aspects. Like for example is the Byzantine Art, it influences mainly on Catholicism, in which, is mainly used in basilicas, churches, convents and chapels. Byzantine art, from the sixth century to the present time, has exerted a wide influence. Up until now, churches are still using the classical Byzantine art which includes stained glass depicting stories from the Holy Bible. Other than Byzantine Art is Contemporary Art, in which, is mainly an artwork depicting different, sometimes bizarre depictions of human perceptions and interpretation. Contemporary has been a mainstream in the present time, used mainly in entertainment and multimedia works. Art as whole has a general influence to humankind, even though they varies in forms, art will always be in the heart of humanity. So now, get a piece of paper and pencil, draw whatever you want and get popped!
