The Three Roads Painters Take On The Road Towards Practicing Pop Art3525784

There are three major ways in which ordinary painters typically evolve into pop art paintings practitioners. When we say 'ordinary painters', we are referring here to the painters who have started out in anything other than popular art, such as conventional abstract expressionism. We are referring to that conversion, from the conventional art (which is usually somewhat elitist) to the popular art as an 'evolution' because, firstly, it tends to take place slowly. Secondly, it is an evolutionary process because the artists who go through it tend to view themselves as better artists at the end of the conversion. You should also realize that ordinary painters cannot just become popular art practitioners instantly, or whenever they want to. Although they come up with popular art works, they still do not let go of their conventional art works.

As time goes by though, the artists in question find themselves devoting more time and energy to the production of the popular art pieces, as opposed to the conventional art pieces. Eventually, they earn a reputation as pop artists once they completely let go of conventional art and concentrate solely on popular art. We now venture to look at the specific ways in which this evolution from conventional art to popular art is triggered.

Popular art works abound, and if an ordinary painter wants to eventually become a pop art practitioner, he should try to get exposed as much as he could to these works. Generally, ordinary painters like what they see when they manage to get close, or be exposed, to products of popular art. As a result, their curiosity is roused and they start to look into ways to come up with something similar. And that leads to a situation where they have to learn popular art practices and methods. These artists would then be immersed so deep in popular art that there will come a time that they will no longer be interested in practicing conventional art. This marks their full conversion into pop art practitioners.

The second way in which ordinary painters typically evolve into pop art practitioners is through exposure to the literature developed by members of this art movement. These literature are not really something that is purposefully looked for by the practitioners of pop art who have made it big. Rather, they come across the literature 'accidentally.' These literature are actually very informative, delving into popular art in great depth and showing how it fares against conventional art. You would even learn about how pop art is better than the elitist conventional art. Some of the artists in question are persuaded by the literature in question, leading to their evolution from being conventional art practitioners to popular art practitioners.

The third way in which ordinary painters typically evolve into pop art practitioners is through interactions with members of this particular art movement. It is noticeable how pop art practitioners are noticeably different from other artists. They seem to have more zest for their art. Apparently, they also earn more from the practice of their art. They seem to be more of the type who finds more meaning in what they do. There is no doubt that these interactions would serve to convince these ordinary painters to try their hand at practicing popular art. Thus, from conventional art, they will then move on to becoming pop art practitioners, until such time that they make a name for themselves in that field.
