"
In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." — Andy Warhol
Pop Art was started in the 1960’s. It was called that because it used popular
images in art for the first time – see the Mick Jagger below. It also used
mechanical
ways of producing art. You are going to use photocopies. It then did creative
things
with both these things.
