Pop Art Day

January 28.  According to the crazy calendar, today is Pop Art day.  Pop art began in the 1950’s. As I understand it,  Pop Art emphasized popular, modern cultural elements – and was often characterized by bright bold colors.  It pictured everyday kinds of objects and had a “funky” wild look.  A classic example of Pop Art was Andy Warhol’s painting of rows of Campbell Soup cans. Of course, my human had to TRY and create her own Pop Art image using the  Warhol 3D option in the Super Photo App– on her iPad.  She made my Pop Art portrait from a sketch she did of me:

Here I am – in bold beautiful color.  A personalized PON Pop Art Portrait.  How's that for alliteration?

I'm not sure you can even tell it's me - but I assure you it IS!

Here's another way to make a Pop Art portrait of your canine kid:

I also decided to see if  I could find any dogs who paint their own masterpieces.  And of course, I did. Check out this dog. He does most of his paintings for charity - and he even has his own Facebook page and You Tube channel!

I REALLY LOVE this idea and my human likes to try things with us – but she draws the line with us and paint.  I can’t IMAGINE why?!  I guess we’ll just have to stick with our snow art.

Have an artsy day!
