Pop Art - Ordinary Painters Can Create It, Too, And How2020204

It is possible for ordinary artists to become full-fledged practitioners of pop art, and there are three ways to go about it. 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. It is a fact that conventional art has always been viewed as being a bit elitist. It has evolved to popular art, though; however, said evolution could only be described as slow. 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. Ordinary painter do not just wake up one day, pick up their brush, and start churning out popular art works. Rather, they tend to start coming up with popular art works, whilst still practicing conventional art.

But this is not something that is permanent. After a while, they will be churning out more popular art works than the conventional ones. There will come a time when popular art will be the only thing they will be working on. At that time, they are officially pop artists. This evolution from conventional art to popular art could be attributed to a number of triggers, and that is what we are going to look into.

One sure way that would pave the path of ordinary painters towards becoming pop art practitioners is to expose themselves to various products or art works that are defined by popular art. Products of popular art are found to be attractive by most ordinary painters once they've been exposed to them. As a result, their curiosity is roused and they start to look into ways to come up with something similar. This convinces them to try learning or studying the various practices in popular art. The lure of popular art would be so powerful that, at a certain point in time, they will no longer be interested with conventional art. When this happens, one could safely say that they have fully transformed into pop art practitioners.

The evolution of ordinary painters into pop art practitioners could also be facilitated by studying the various pop art literature that are now made available by the pioneers of this art movement. If you look at the popular art practitioners, you will find that they did not initially go looking for these literature. In reality, they just accidentally happened by them. The literature in question tends to go to great lengths, in showing how popular art is better than conventional art which is depicted as, among other things, elitist. After reading all that literature, many of these ordinary artists are convinced more than ever to try their hand at popular art, until such time that they fully evolve into practicing it.

Firsthand information is always a great source, and if you want to become a pop art practitioner, that means you would also benefit greatly from interacting with popular art practitioners themselves. Often, the practitioners of popular art tend to be rather different from other artists. They seem to enjoy their art more. It is also clear that they earn more from it. They also seem to find their art more meaningful or with more depth. The more exposure they get to other pop art  practitioners, the more attracted they will be to the prospect of becoming one of them. As a result, we would see more and more conventional art practitioners making that shift to becoming practitioners of popular art.
