Pop Art - Ordinary Painters Can Create It, Too, And How

By Aorwi Ketler


There are three major ways in which ordinary painters typically evolve into pop art practitioners. When we say 'ordinary painters', we are referring here to the painters who have started out in anything other than popular art, such as conventional abstract expressionism. It is a fact that conventional art has always been viewed as being a bit elitist. It has evolved to popular art, though; however, said evolution could only be described as slow. It can also be classified as evolution because, at the end of this slow transformation of the art form, the artists deemed themselves to have improved greatly as artists. Becoming popular art practitioners cannot be achieved overnight or in the blink of an eye. Rather, they tend to start coming up with popular art works, whilst still practicing conventional art.

After some time, you will notice a shift in their concentration, with them veering towards creating popular art works more than conventional art. Eventually, they earn a reputation as pop artists once they completely let go of conventional art and concentrate solely on popular art. Let us try to define the various triggers to this evolution from conventional art to popular art.

By exposing themselves to products of popular art movement, ordinary painters will have better chances at becoming pop art practitioners. Products of popular art are found to be attractive by most ordinary painters once they've been exposed to them. This will spark a challenge within them to come up with something similar or just as attractive. This convinces them to try learning or studying the various practices in popular art. These artists would then be immersed so deep in popular art that there will come a time that they will no longer be interested in practicing conventional art. This marks their full conversion into pop art practitioners.

The evolution of ordinary painters into pop art practitioners could also be facilitated by studying the various pop art literature that are now made available by the pioneers of this art movement. It is a sad fact that many of these literature are not really sought out initially by aspiring pop art practitioners. More often than not, they only happened to stumble on these literature. If you need to gain more understanding about popular art, devouring all the related literature will go a very long way in providing all the information you need. Some of the artists in question are persuaded by the literature in question, leading to their evolution from being conventional art practitioners to popular art practitioners.

The third way in which ordinary painters typically evolve into pop art practitioners is through interactions with members of this particular art movement. Often, the practitioners of popular art tend to be rather different from other artists. They seem to have more zest for their art. It also appears as though they earn more from the practice of their art. They derive more meaning from the art that they create. The more exposure they get to other pop art practitioners, the more attracted they will be to the prospect of becoming one of them. They subsequently evolve from being conventional art practitioners, into being popular art practitioners.
