pop art

Pop art is a really cool and funky type of art. This is my favirote type of art and I love making up my own pop art drawing in class. Most pop art artists dont really use dull colours like black and grey they normally use bright colours like green, yellow, blue, red, orange and many more bright colours. I really like this pop art piece because it is very colouful and stands out to you when you go past it because of the bright colours,  and the picture they used is really unusual and funny so that also grabs my attention.
