knowledge of contemporary art is still the responsibility of s tereotipi and hearsay, but it would be important that we do not modernize both the art world (in Italy very exciting), but the perception and knowledge of the general public. POPARTLAB you can define a course of art "popular" dal punto di vista teorico e tecnico. Il primo aspetto, ovvero quello teorico, trova i suoi motivi ispiratori nell’avanguardia americana degli anni ’60: la pop art. Il termine “Pop Art”, abbreviazione di popular art, fu coniato nel 1955 da due studiosi inglesi, Lesile Fiedler e Reyner Banham, per designare l’universo dei mass-media, o meglio delle forme visive e musicali ad esso collegate: dal cartellone pubblicitario alla televisione,dal cinema alla musica leggera, dai rotocalchi ai fumetti, dalla moda alla confezione delle merci di consumo. Il variegato, e a suo modo immaginativo, linguaggio dei nuovi prodotti destinati alla massa aveva preso il posto delle immagini popolari di un tempo, legate all’artigianato and folk traditions, taking their level but remaining separate hierarchical art "cultured." In the early sixties the American critic Lawrence Alloway adopted the term "pop art" in another sense, as the theme of a new avant-garde movement whose manifestations, while maintaining the level "read" the art, operating a ' unusual exchange with the media. The artists of this movement is dedicated to the transcription of pictorial imagery offered by the universe of mass media, producing paintings inspired by comic books or other images of consumer and mutually reproduction techniques (screen printing, production multiples).
Worktop
On this basis, the work plan to use and manipulate images taken from everyday life or from the world media personnel, using photos, photocopies, magazine clippings and heterogeneous materials. Consequently, the course is open to everyone, even those without knowledge and basics of drawing and painting. Techniques and materials
From technical point of view of industrial printing methods will be converted into a purely traditional way, using the following techniques:
- Printing with solvent;
- monotype print with glass and paper;
- stencil printing .
The work of play will be integrated with the use painting, collage and assemblage, working with paper, cloth, plastic, veneer and whatever is deemed appropriate by the needs of creative students. These elements are readily available as waste by recycling, which would enable students to rethink the functionality and use of objects. Then the materials will be used primarily pastels, watercolor crayons, paints and recycled materials, paper and canvas media.
Goals
The course will be taught the uses of these techniques, supported by lectures on graphic design, visual perception and color theory. The main purpose is the development of work manually via the use of heterogeneous materials and the spirit of observation against the image, as well as giving free rein to the imagination of students. In addition, this research which starts from the art of the '60s want to bring students to contemporary art (dispelling the myth incomprehensibility), reflect the influence that the media world exercises on an exercise creativity and practice of criticism and experimentation.
