Photography Blog Post #1 - "Pop Art"

For today's blog, please respond to the following questions:

• What is Pop Art?
• Pick one artist, research them and discuss their work. Why is this artist’s work considered Pop Art? Why did you pick this artist and why do you like his/her work? (this discussion should be ~5 sentences)
• What would you say are some of the most iconic images in the 21st century? Think about marketing, mass media, consumer products, etc that everyone your age is familiar with. Were you able to capture one of these images in one or more of your twenty photos? (this discussion should also be ~5 sentences)
• How did you choose the photo that you used in your Photoshop project? What about it made it your best photo for this project?
• What skills did you learn and use completing the Photoshop element of this project? Be specific and thoroughly outline each of the tools you used and what adjustments it allowed for - in other words, what filters did you use for each of the nine grids in your Photoshop assignment
• What did you learn and enjoy about this project? Discuss both the Photoshop tools you worked with and the experience you had with the camera itself as you took photos. Were there things you realized about the photo taking process as you completed the project?

For this course you will be posting one blog each week. The expectation is that the blog will be thorough and well thought out. Remember at the top of your blog you should have 4 images. Your 3 best original images and then your "Pop Art" Photoshop Assignment. Please spend some time formatting the blog as aesthetics will factor into your grade.
