IN THE WORLD OF ART, there are many different styles, ranging from abstract to modernism, and surrealism to cubism—and that’s not forgetting what was thought to be the first modern art movement, impressionism. There have been many art styles since and each has contributed toward the main framework of art as a whole. Styles and genres come and go, but some seem to stick around for good reasons.
Rising to fame in the late-1950s, the pop art movement is a bright and bold form of art, pioneered by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Now considered one of the most significant art movements of the 20th century, pop art inspired many different sub-art forms and the influence of its bright, bold, and fun vintage style can still be seen across a variety of different media. The great thing about pop art is that you can take multiple elements from the genre and apply them to your own work or imagery. In this tutorial, we will be converting a regular photograph into the style of pop art using Adobe Photoshop.
