Week 1 (Research/Propsal)

Research

Pop art orginated in the 1950's and flourished in the 1960's. Mainly in America and Britain pop art drew inspiration from the popular and commercial culture that was around at that time.The use of Pop art is to take mundane objects that were mass produce such as can of tomatoe soup and improve its splender, in lamen terms its used to blur the bounaries between 'high' art and 'low' culture.You can also use Pop art as adverstiments, Billboards and street art:
High Art is art appercaited by people with a more refeined heratige or cultural tates while Low Culture is every one can enjoy it no matter what their socail class is.

Some famous Pop art were;Joe Tilson, Andy Warhol, Idelle Weber, and Tom Wesselmann. these famous people were reknowed for their images.

This is an example of pop art on the Left is Andy's and he made it when President Nixon left to speak with President Mao during the cultural revolution. He did this to oppose the Communist Propaganda Machine. For the features of Pop art it is full of bright colours that stands out, it is also full of energy.

Pop art constitutes present day items presented in a new way. For example a Marmite jar has been around for years and is now a staple of the present day.Pop art was used for advertisement, memorials and a way of speaking out. The product that needs a Pop art image would be Reggae Sauce since it was created through investments from a tv show called Dragons Den

The Equipment that i would use would be;

• Two Red Heads (lights)
• A Camera 
• A Tripod
• A2 Paper

Proposal.

 My visual product will be a poster with nine images on it and each of these images are going to have different colour backgrounds and the product will be different colour in each of the images.The thing I would need to take into account when creating this poster would be how I set up the red heads since I wouldn't like to have any visable shadow on the product. I'll be using a low ISO in this photo shoot since it will allow me to get as much detail as possable. For saftey I will be putting the camera on a tripod since it will keep the camera in place and I can change the setting of the camera without the postioning of the camera changing. I will bring in some different objects to take images of and then i will make a contact sheet and chose the best one to do the final edit with. Then I will place the final design on a pice of A2 black card and then show it at a presentation to the rest of the class and talk about what went well, what didn't and what you can improve on.
