Stark lines and Dots?

Pop Art

It's kind of weird in my opinion but that is the point. This portion of this blog allows me to write my opinion about anything. According to ArtyFactory:

"Pop Art was the art of popular culture. It was the visual art movement that characterised a sense of optimism during the post war consumer boom of the 1950's and 1960's. It coincided with the globalization of pop music and youth culture, personified by Elvis and the Beatles."

Most of what I have seen of Pop Art in the 21st century have been in old comic books and recently in makeup artistry.

From what I can tell, Pop Art is characterised by strong lines and/or highly contrasting colours developing a vividness and unreal quality. As you can see from Madeyewlook's redition, she uses strong lines and keeps it simple yet vivid. Later she adds tears but that wass for fun and dramatic effect.

It is great for conveyng sadness as the tears are so obvious and in your face. They have a specific shape and with just a few lines, you can turn from sassy to sad.
