Pop Art Joe Hill Analysis
I would have never imagined my best friend in middle school would have been a boy with a pad around his neck and could be killed with a single puncture. Joe Hill’s short story Pop Art was exactly about that. How can two boys so different and from different worlds could build such a deep friendship. “My best friend when I was twelve was inflatable” I said. Joe Hill also turned his short story Pop Art into a short film. There are a few similarities between the short story and the film but the differences are greater in number. The differences between the two makes me enjoy the short story more than the short film. Joe Hill is an American writer who has a love for comic books, the comic books would often get turned into short stories like this. …show more content…
In the short story the Dad did not like Art coming over to their house so he brought the dog, a pit bull, home to keep Art from coming over. “The bull erupted off the floor, yapping hysterically, and jumped up on Art”. After this happens in the short story we spent all of our time over at Art’s house. This allows the boy to interact with Art’s Mom. In the short story you learn the boy’s Mom left when he was very young. The ending of the short story is totally different than the film due to the dog “Happy”, which is his name in the short story. The boy’s Dad plans a dentist appointment for him so he was not home when Art came over to see him. His Dad let the pit bull, Happy, out of his pen and Happy starts after Art so he climbs in the car on a hot summer day while not being able to open the windows. “Art sat. Happy didn’t move.” the short story stated. Art is seen longer in the ending of the short story but continues to be pumped up with air several times a day and realizes nothing will change so he has the boy bring a bunch of balloons to him just like the short film

    Art 109 Modern Art Analysis

    One of the most influential artists of the Modern Period of art was James Whistler. Whistler was an accomplished printer and painter and a brief background of the painter allows us to understand Whistler, and why more than any artist of his time, he would be attracted to Japanese woodblock prints called Ukiyo-e. It is also essential to understand the essence of Ukiyo-e, Japanese aesthetics and its migration to the Western world. Additionally, a chronological selection of Whistler’s works must be analyzed showing how he integrated the lessons he learned from his exposure to Ukiyo-e.…

    Andy Warhol Pop Art Analysis

    Andy Warhol founded the art movement called pop art, and his lifestyle and work both mocked and celebrated the world’s obsession with materiality and fame. On one side, his paintings of distorted everyday items and celebrity faces could be seen as a display for what he viewed as a culture consumed with money and being famous. On the other side, his focus on consumer goods and celebrities, and his own fame and fortune, suggest a life in celebration of the aspects of American culture that his work criticized.…

    Comics Mccloud

    Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, by Scott McCloud, is a book composed in comic book form that explains the importance of comic books, and how they are written and why they are written the way they are. Right off the bat, McCloud relates to the reader by explaining the world of comic books through the actual art form. Through this art form, the reader will feel a sense of closure to the topics because the reader is experiencing the world of comics first-handedly. McCloud conveys his message through a little iconic figure that is a visual representation of himself. He speaks directly to the reader, and starts the chapter having the same perspective as the intended reader. He points out that, comic books were “Bright, colorful magazines filled with bad art, stupid stories and guys in tights” (McCloud 2). However, he begins to go more in depth with the history of comic books and its unique style of relating to the reader. He contradicts is original thought of comics and that the art of comics is actually very important because, as seen in early history, the art of comics was used to record important events. From pictorial manuscript of Cortes’ adventures to Egyptian hieroglyphics, they all have one thing in common. By definition they are “juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce and aesthetic response in the viewer” (McCloud 9). McCloud notes that there are more to comics than what the naked eye can see and explains the style and uses of comic books of the modern day.…

    Andy Warhol And The Pop Art Movement

    For my History Day topic, I chose Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol seemed to be a good topic because I have had an interest for pop art for a long time. Andy Warhol is one of the biggest, most popular icons from the pop art movement. This movement started the 1950s in the United States and Great Britain. Warhol led the pop art movement and was always on the cutting edge of art, music, and popular culture. During the course of his career he produced paintings, films, commercials, print ads and many other works.…

    Richard Prince's Instagram Screenhot Art Analysis

    Considering Instagram's terms of use, it seems that what Richard Prince did with the use of his Instagram screenshot art was completely legal, seeing as how every single person that uses the application allows others to use their imagery with no legal recourse. (Does anyone besides Prince actually read that stuff anyway?) But from an artistic standpoint, what Richard did, and what he has done in the past with other peoples' work is completely disrespectful and immoral. It's almost as if he is doing it just to get a reaction and piss people off. And it worked. I completely agree with the guy from 'The Art of Photography' who talked about Prince in the video “Richard Prince Smells Bad” in that he did this just to stir the pot and get people riled up to give his show more attention, which is exactly what happened. The more publicity it got, the more people came out to…

    The Emergence Of Pop Art

    Pop art has become one of the most recognizable styles of modern art. Unlike most art before the 50s, pop art was a new approach to representational visual communication. This became a major directional shift of modernism, where the works are inspired by the “pop” of the present; from the mid-1950s onward, artists who drew on a popular imagery were part of an international phenomenon. Drawing from mass media and popular culture, the subject matter became far from traditional “high art” themes. Following in the footsteps of Abstract Expressionists, artists were inspired by commonplace objects and the people of everyday life, hoping to elevate this new art form into a fine art. How and why pop art reacted to abstract expressionism…
