Pop Art Final

Choose an artist from the Pop Art movement (aside from Andy Warhol) and have it approved before beginning.  We will create narratives using sequential art as a vehicle.  The black and white comic book page ( 10 x 15 image on an 11 x 17 piece of board or paper) will use the artist as the narrator and will consist of at least five panels.  Use what you have learned from your reading in Will Eisner’s Comics and Sequential Art to present your information as effectively as possible. 

Once your artist has been approved, begin your research on your artist to communicate the following:

Where and when were they born

What kind of training they had, any significant mentors

Noteworthy moment(s) in their career as an artist

What is the Pop Art movement and when did it happen?

An example of their artwork that best represents what they are known for

What media or mediums they use in their work

A likeness of the artist (consider using this to establish that the narrator’s voice belongs to the artist)

What were they trying to communicate in their work?  Why are they seen as a significant part of the Pop Art movement or the art world?

Demonstrate an understanding of the following elements of sequential art:

An establishing shot

A variety of “camera angles”

Utilizing the panels to assist in the storytelling process

An impact panel that showcases the most important part of the narrative.
